Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva (pictured) said on Monday he would have no objection if the House of Representatives and the Senate set up a joint committee to study the results of previous meetings of the Thai-Cambodian Joint Boundary Commission (JBC).
The results of three JBC meetings - in Siem Reap in late 2008, in Bangkok in February 2009 and in Phnom Penh in April 2009 - will be tabled by the Foreign Ministry for approval of the joint sitting of the upper and lower Houses on Tuesday.
Among the items up for parliament approval will be an aerial map of the border dividing the two countries and an agreement to establish a working group to demarcate the boundary.
Mr Abhisit said after Monday's cabinet meeting that he would have no objection if the two houses set up a joint parliamentary committee to study the outcome of the previous JBC meetings.
Government spokesman Panithan Wattanayagorn said the cabinet had assigned PM's Office Minister Sathit Wongnongtoey to coordinate with opposition MPs and senators and seek their cooperation.
"Parliament's approval of the results of the previous JBC meetings would enable the JBC to proceed with its work plans earlier agreed upon," he said.

Wake up Thailand. Khmer has not even claim back so many provinces that had been given to you by the French.
Sturdy your history once again and see yourselves how many Khmers and our cultures still exist in your country from north to south of Thailand.
You all are lucky that True Khmer is not running Cambodia otherwise thing could have been a devolution of Thai and Viet.
True Khmer
