Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva insists that there is no conflict between the Foreign Affairs Ministry and the army over Thailand’s refusal to accept Indonesian military observers into the disputed area on the Thai-Cambodian border.

The prime minister said Sunday that the ministry and the army understood the government’s stance that Thailand would not allow Indonesian observers to enter the 4.6 square-kilometre disputed area around the Preah Vihear temple.

If the Indonesian observers were allowed to go into the disputed area, it would make the border situation worse,” said Mr Abhisit.

He was responding to Cambodian Foreign Minister Hor Namhong, who said he was disappointed that Thailand had refused to accept Indonesian military observers into the disputed area.
