(MENAFN- Nam News Network) BANGKOK, Jun 17 (NNN-TNA) – Thai Prime Minister, Paetongtarn Shinawatra, said yesterday that, Thailand has not closed its border with Cambodia, but only taken some border control measures, based on the evolving situation and security requirements, while stressing that, Thailand will not accept any form of threat.

Speaking to the media, Paetongtarn clarified that, the Thai-Cambodian border remains open, but the opening hours at crossings have been adjusted, based on security assessment, and the Thai side has communicated with the Cambodian side.

Commenting on remarks and public messaging by the Cambodian side, Paetongtarn stated that, such actions do not fall within the framework of official bilateral mechanisms, and are unhelpful in resolving disputes, warning that, they could lead to unnecessary misunderstandings.

To facilitate further dialogue, Paetongtarn said, Thailand has proposed a meeting between the two countries' military, to discuss future cooperation and joint response mechanisms.

Cambodian Senate President, Samdech Techo Hun Sen, yesterday warned to ban the imports of vegetables and fruits from Thailand within 24 hours, if the latter does not normalise the operation at border crossings.– NNN-TNA
