Prime Minister Hun Sen has threatened to bring the Khmer-Thai border conflict to the upcoming Asean summit in May if Thailand is still trying to thwart any attempts by Indonesia to help resolve the issue. Mr. Hun Sen's speech came after there are continuous media reports that the Thai army chief Gen. Prayuth Chan-Ocha and Defence Minister Prawit Wongsuwan repeatedly said that Thailand will not attend the Indonesia meeting as well as rejecting the deployment of Indonesian observers it has agreed to accept in the Asean foreign ministerial meeting on 22nd February 2011.

Speaking during a graduation ceremony at the National Institute of Education on Monday morning which was attended by the Thai ambassador, Mr. Hun Sen has asked to the Thai ambassador to convey a message to the Thai government that Thailand must be held accountable in the face of Asean and the UN Security Council for all its actions or the lack of it.

Indonesia, currently the Asean chair, has proposed a meeting between the Cambodian and Thai defence ministers in Bogor from 7-8 April, but Thailand has been very vocal of its opposition to such meeting as well as rejecting the deployment of Indonesian observers it had agreed to accept during the Asean meeting on 22nd February.

Mr. Hun Sen said Cambodia has wholeheartedly agreed to the Bogor meeting and is readily waiting for the deployment of the Indonesian observers, saying Cambodia has prepared 15 vehicles, fully paid hotel rooms and two-way communication radios for the Indonesian observers already.
