“Thailand’s stance remains the same. If Cambodia doesn’t withdraw its troops from the disputed border area, no observers will be sent there,” Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said.
Indonesia offered to send troops as observers to the area in which Thai and Cambodian armies have periodically clashed, resulting in the deaths of more than a dozen Thai soldiers and an undisclosed number of Cambodian soldiers.
The offer was made and initially accepted during a meeting between foreign delegations in Jakarta this week.
Thai Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya and his Cambodian counterpart Hor Namhong hammered out the agreement. They made the deal after a failed meeting between Abhisit and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen at the Association of Southeast Asian Nations summit Sunday.
