Cambodia, Thailand agree to joint border patrols

Cambodia and Thailand have agreed to jointly patrol the areas along the Preah Vihear border following today’s bilateral talks, according to the breaking news from AP, AFP and Bangkok Post.

This would prevent another round of fatal clashes between the two countries, the three newspapers reported Thai army spokesman Col. Sansern Kaewkumnerd as saying.

“Major General Srey Deok, commander of Cambodian troops in the disputed border area, said the Thai and Cambodian generals had agreed that soldiers would not fire their weapons, but troops would remain in the area.” (AFP)

Meanwhile, a separate Bangkok Posrt article reported that the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs was collective more evidence about the PMN2 landmine that two Thai troops stepped on at the disputed Thai-Cambodian border on October 3 and would forward this case to the United Nations (UN) for inspection under the Ottawa Convention.

Thailand argued that the Russian-made landmine was recently planted by Cambodian troops in the Thai territory.

The case would not further worsen the border tension, said Foreign Ministry spokesman Tharit Charungvat.
