Songkitti Jaggabatra, pledged they will make all efforts to solve the border dispute near Preah Vihear temple through peace talks in the spirit of their friendly relations.
Gen. Songkitti asserted the dispute would no longer be a problem that could threaten the two countries’ diplomatic ties, while Gen. Pol Saroeun highlighted that Cambodia and Thailand have the same goal of achieving peace and solidarity.
Chhum Sucheat said, however, that the two sides haven’t yet signed any peace agreements related to the issue but they are actively seeking the proper solutions to the problem.
