BANGKOK, April 6 (MCOT online news) — Foreign Affairs Minister Kasit Piromya said Wednesday the decision on whether or not to attend the Thai-Cambodian General Border Committee (GBC) meeting to be held in Indonesia rests with the Thai military brass themselves.
Past GBC meetings were held both in Thailand and Cambodia, but the military of both countries still had not agreed on whether to allow Indonesian observers to be posted to the disputed 4.6 square-kilometre zone in order to prevent clashes from reoccurring. It is up to the Thai military themselves to decide on whether they attend the meeting in Indonesia, Mr Kasit said.
His remarks were made after Supreme Commander Gen Songkitti Jaggabatara said Tuesday that Thai army officers would not attend the GBC meeting and that Thailand would not allow Indonesian observers to be present at the disputed border.
