The Thailand-Cambodia Joint Boundary Commission (JBC) met yesterday in the Indonesian city of Bogor for talks, which went off smoothly.

It was the JBC’s first meeting since the border clash at Preah Vihear Temple in February, although the Thai Parliament has not yet approved the minutes of previous meetings.

Despite the meeting being hosted by Indonesia in its role as the current chair of Asean, it was convened on a bilateral basis, without the involvement of any third party, said the Foreign Minister’s secretary, Chavanond Intarakomalyasut, who attended the meeting.

“The atmosphere was good. In order to conduct a smooth meeting, we concentrated mostly on the boundary issue, which is the major task of the JBC,” he said.
