The cabinet has appointed representatives to
the joint working group with Cambodia on border development and
transportation links.
Deputy government spokesman Sunisa Lertphakhawat said 17 members
were appointed. Foreign Minister Surapong Tovichackchaikul would head
the Thai delegation.
The working group is authorised to propose policies on the
development of border areas and transportation between the two
countries, but will not be involved in border delineation.
The cooperation guidelines included the establishment of special
economic zones at the border in Aranyaprathet district of Sa Kaeo
province and adjoining Poipet, in Cambodia, and in the area linking
Trat and Koh Kong.
More road, rail and border checkpoints will be opened.
The two countries will also consider infrastructure development and
energy cooperation such as the sale of more power to nearby areas of
Cambodia and support for development of a hydroelectricity plant.
Thailand and Cambodia also aim to cooperate in improve the skills of
Cambodian workers and increasing job opportunities and income for
Cambodian people. Cooperation on public health matters is also on the
agenda.
Members of the working group include the ministers of defence,
finance, sport and tourism, agriculture, transportation, energy,
commerce, interior, public health, and industry, and representatives
from other government agencies.

These two neighbors were ounce brothers & sisters whether or not the Siam accepted or not. Good to hear these two neighbors are working togethers in a peaceful ways for the benefits of the two peoples on both sides of the borders. As Khmer person myself I wanted these jointed developments projects with the Thai because they had better ideas, budgets. AS KHMER PERSON I FOUND IT HARD TO TRUST SIAM 100%. I plead to our Royal Government Kingdom Of Cambodia PLEASE make sure we had an experts who are qualified to head this development teams with Siam. Please make sure we don't get corrupted by Siam's money and get suck into given up our territories & our limited natural resources. Siam might had good intentions BUT PLEASE PM HUN SEN be cautious. Never trust our three neighbors with our back turn. Khmers had been betrayed by our three neighbors many times in the past. DON'T MAKE SAME MISTAKES AGAIN. Especially Siam & Youn they had never given up the ideas of annexing Khmer's provinces. As Siam case they more kindness to it's inhibitants than Youn but both are crueled to Khmer peoples in diffetent ways. Also PM Hun Sen PLEASE DON'T jointed developed any areas around our sacred land around Prasat Preah Vihear because I suspected that there are probably high concentration of precious metal such as gold, iron ores, others in those mountains. That's why Siam not afraid of been shamefully stand in front if the ICJ to lied in order to steal Khmer's land.
SIAM IS SIAM NO MATTER THEY ARE YELLOW OR RED ETC., ETC., ETC. They played these games with our ancestors in the past.
