A source from the Cambodian Ministry of Defence said a Thai delegation comprising 15 senior military officers is due to arrive in Phnom Penh today for border talks with Cambodian defence officials, reports everyday.com.
The source said the topics of discussion shall include talks on border resolution and mechanism to find that solution. The source said that the delegation, led by Lt-Gen. Nipat Thonglek, head of directorate of border affairs, will spend 2 days inCambodia, including a meeting with Defence Minister Tea Banh (pictured), before heading back to Thailand on 3rd September.
Cambodian defence analysts believe the Thai delegation to Cambodia is a Thai attempt to test Cambodia's stance on bilateral negotiation rather than the multilateral approach favoured and called for by Cambodia. It is a Thai attempt to show its efforts and willingness to resolve the border issues so as to contain the conflict from being referred to multilateral level.
