The new Thai foreign minister put border issues with Cambodia as a top priority after the conclusion of the Asean Summit. Thai media reported on Sunday Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya as saying that border issues with Cambodia will be the most important issues after the Asean Summit.
Mr. Kasit said that the border issues can be resolved because Cambodian PM hun Sen was the first leader to have sent a congratulation letter to Mr. Abhisit Vejjajiva, after the he was elected as Thailand's PM. He said that Mr. Hun Sen's gesture is a good sign for warm neighbourly relations between the two countries.
Mr. Phay Siphan, spokesman for Cambodia's Council of Ministers, said that what Cambodia can see is that Cambodia welcome the commitments of the new Thai foreign minister who puts the Khmer-Thai border issues at his top priority. He said that Cambodia commends these commitments.
He added that Cambodia and Thailand must implement the November agreements between the two foreign ministers that were signed in Siem Reap. In the agreements, both sides have decided to put the Preah Vihear border issues on the top of the agenda.
