Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya will decide during the Joint Boundary Commission (JBC) meeting on the deployment of Indonesian observers at the 4.6 square kilometre disputed border area, Defence Minister Prawit Wongsuwon said on Thursday morning.
Mr Kasit said on Wednesday said he had agreed with Phnom Penh and Jakarta that Indonesian observers could inspect the disputed area.
He said 15 Indonesian observers would deployed in Thailand and 15 in Cambodia. They would be allowed to approach the disputed area, but would not be permitted to enter it. They must not be armed or wear military uniform, but must arrive as diplomats.
Gen Prawit said Mr Kasit called him on the telephone on Wednesday seeking a face to face meeting. He had told Mr Kasit it was not necessary as they could talk on the telephone.
“I told the foreign minister that he can make any decision himself during the JBC meeting [in Indonesia] as long as it is not contrary to the laws and the constitution of Thailand.
