(ANN/THE NATION) - Former Thai deputy PM Suthep Thaugsuban admitted on Wednesday that he met Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister Sok An twice - in Hong Kong and Kunming - but did not make any secret deal over the maritime resources in the overlapping zone in the Gulf of Thailand.
The Thai government under Mr Abhisit Vejjajiva then invited Mr Sok An to talk on the matter in Thailand but the latter had no free time to visit Thailand and so informal meetings were held in Hong Kong, Mr Suthep said.
'I told Sok An that - as both of us were appointed chief negotiators on the overlapping area in the sea - why didn't we open a formal meeting to follow what previous governments had done,' Mr Suthep told reporters.
'Returning home, I rushed to issue a letter of invitation to talk in Thailand - but the meeting has never taken place as the bilateral relations turned sour,' he said.
