The deputy PM of national security told the Senate he is confident that bilateral relations between Thailand and Cambodia will improve after the leaders of both nations have had an opportunity to meet in person.
Suthep Thaugsuban, deputy PM of national security, answered a question directed at him by Senator Somchai Sawaengkarn regarding his approach to resolving the soured relations between Thailand and Cambodia.
Suthep said that so far, the Thai government has been very patient in finding ways to be on amicable terms with Cambodia through talks between officials at different levels.
He added that the Thai government has tried to contain the impact of the border tensions and prevent them from spreading and affecting people who live along the border.
Regarding the resignation of Thaksin Shinawatra as economic adviser to the Cambodian government, he said the resignation will ease tensions between Thailand and Cambodia and in the future, international summits will present opportunities for leaders of both nations to discuss the conflict.
Senator Somchai Sawaengkarn proposed that both countries share the benefits of the disputed land and said that determining a border between the two countries must be done without favoring one country over the other.
He also called for both sides to withdraw their troops.
