Thai-Cambodian GBC Will Not Take Place In Bogor

By Jamaluddin Muhammad

BANGKOK, April 4 (Bernama) -- The proposed parallel meeting of the Thai-Cambodian Joint Boundary Commission (JBC) and General Border Committee (GBC) in Bogor, Indonesia on Thursday, will not materialise.

Instead, only the JBC will proceed as planned for two days, beginning that day.

Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said today the GBC could not take place as defence ministries of both countries were still negotiating the proposed meeting.

According to local news reports, Thai Defence Minister Gen Prawit Wongsuwon insisted the JBC should be held first, followed by the GBC.

Prawit was also reported having said he did not want the presence of a third party in the bilateral meeting on the Thai-Cambodia border security issues.
