PHNOM PENH, June 4 (Xinhua) — A joint meeting of the Cambodia-Thai Boundary Commission will be held in Phnom Penh on June 14 to discuss border issues, Cambodian Foreign Ministry spokesman Cham Soonri said on Wednesday.
“Cambodia is committed to the peaceful resolution of border issues through technical mechanisms and in accordance with international law,” he wrote in a text message sent to media outlets on the Telegram messenger.
He noted that the main focus of the meeting would be on the area where the incident recently occurred.
The representative also stated that Cambodia, firmly committed to protecting its sovereignty and territorial integrity, intends to transform its borders with neighboring countries into zones of peace, friendship, cooperation and development for the benefit of all countries and peoples.
The meeting was planned after a brief shootout between soldiers from the two countries in the Emerald Triangle on May 28, which resulted in the death of a Cambodian soldier.
The Emerald Triangle is the area where the borders of Cambodia, Thailand and Laos meet.
Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet said on Sunday that at an upcoming commission meeting, Cambodia will propose to Thailand that the issue of border disputes involving the Emerald Triangle region, as well as the issue of the Ta Moan Thom, Ta Moan Toch and Ta Krabei temples, be referred to the International Court of Justice. –0–
