The shooting incident involving a Thai military helicopter near Cambodia would not have any impact on the Thai-Cambodian General Border Committee (GBC) meeting, national army chief Prayuth Chan-ocha said Monday.
He said the GBC meeting and the helicopter shooting incident are two separate issues.
"The two sides would be able to discuss and settle the incident and it's normal for neighbouring countries to encounter this kind of problem," Gen Prayuth said.
The Thai navy will be responsible for handling the helicopter shooting, he said.
Cambodian troops on Thursday, Dec 15, opened fire at the navy Bell 121 helicopter delivering relief supplies near the border. The helicopter was forced to make an emergency landing in Trat province, but no one was hurt.
