Indonesian observers will not be allowed to enter the disputed border area surrounding the centuries-old Preah Vihear temple, Supreme Commander Songkitti Jaggabatara says.
Gen Songkitti led the chiefs of the army, the navy and the air force in making the statement at a press conference after a meeting of the military top brass at the Royal Thai Air Force headquarters yesterday.
It was the first time Thai military leaders have formally announced their position on the issue.
Gen Songkitti said the Thai and Cambodian governments signed a memorandum of understanding in 1995 which provides for the Thai-Cambodian General Border Committee(GBC) to be set up with defence ministers of the two countries as co-chairs.
