SURIN, May 4 (MCOT online news) – Tensions along the Thai-Cambodian border have now relaxed and the troops of both sides have pledged to resolve the border dispute by negotiation, Thai Army Region 2 commander Lt-Gen Thawatchai Samutsakorn said on Wednesday.
The Thai regional military commander said after visiting soldiers injured in the clashes which erupted April 22, when both parties used heavy weapons causing casualties among the troops and residents of the two countries.
Gen Thawatchai said the situation has now eased since no heavy weapons such as artillery or rocket launchers have been used recently.
“Today I have talked with the Cambodian field commander and urged him to avoid any possible clash,” Gen Thawatchai stated. “If any misunderstanding does occur, both sides will talk to solve the conflict and reduce suspicion.”
