This sounds like another useless meeting. The Cambodian delegation should stay at home to save the money on traveling because by the look of it, it sounds like the meeting will not resolve anything. It will be a cocktail party between the Cambodian and Thai military leaders only.
The meeting is a waste of poor khmer people that need foods and shelters right now.
These must be the Ph.d generals. They will get a lot done.
