PHNOM PENH, Feb. 22 (Xinhua) -- Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen (pictured) said Tuesday morning that Cambodia canceled its plan to ask Thailand to sign the permanent ceasefire under the witness of ASEAN chair or representative during the ASEAN foreign ministers' meeting Tuesday in Jakarka, Indonesia.
"I have told (Foreign Minister) Hor Namhong already, it's no need to ask Thailand to sign the permanent cease fire as Thai side announced to receive observers from Indonesia to the border disputed area," Hun Sen said during a graduation ceremony at the Royal University of Phnom Penh.
"Cambodia welcomes your (Thai's) proposal to receive observers to embed in your army," he said, adding that "and Cambodia will also ask observers from Indonesia to embed in Cambodian side as soon as possible,"
Last week, Hun Sen was proposing a signing of permanent ceasefire between the two countries along with ASEAN chair to secure the effectiveness, but Thailand is objecting to the proposal.
"I don't want you to sign in Jakarta and it will be bogged down in Bangkok due to your parliament fails to ratify," he said.
"Up to now, the situation at the border is evolving well if there is no change of Thai leaders. The ceasefire will happen and there will be observers from Indonesia," he said.
However, the premier expressed his worrying "if there is any change of Thai side over the request of observers from now to the afternoon."
