Thailand and Cambodia have agreed to continue border talks after Indonesian-brokered negotiations wound up in Bogor last Friday.

But plenty of sticking points remain. Thailand has refused to accept Indonesian military observers into the disputed area on the Thai-Cambodian border. And the Thai government has denied a claim that the Thai military used cluster bombs during the recent border clashes with Cambodia. This latest statement follows claims by the Cluster Munitions Coalition that Thailand admitted using cluster bombs during a skirmish on its border with Cambodia.
