KUALA LUMPUR, May 30 (Bernama) -- Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin Monday applauded the commitment made by Thailand and Cambodia to resolve their border dispute peacefully.
Despite initial hiccups and in true Asean spirit, he said, both parties had agreed to refer the dispute to the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
"The last few months have been rather challenging for Asean. Tensions in the Cambodian-Thai border have caused a great deal of concern in the region, and this was evident during the recent Asean Summit in Jakarta.
"In seven hours' time, Cambodian and Thai advocates will begin to argue their cases in The Hague," he said in his keynote address at the 25th Asia-Pacific Rountable here.
