Thailand Vows Not to Be “Pressured” at ASEAN Talks
(MENAFN) On Saturday, Thailand declared that Bangkok will not be “pressured or put at a disadvantage” during the upcoming Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Foreign Ministers’ Meeting on Monday, where the ongoing border clashes with Cambodia will be addressed.
Foreign Ministry deputy spokesperson Maratee Nalita Andamo announced that Foreign Minister Sihasak Phuangketkeow will head a delegation to Malaysia for the discussions, according to a local outlet.
She emphasized: “Thailand’s stance remains clear: the country seeks peace and does not pose a threat or encroach upon the sovereignty of other nations. Thailand has consistently expressed its desire for lasting peace, and Cambodia must demonstrate sincerity in this matter.”
The Thai Army also denounced Cambodia for its “use of violence against civilian targets,” accusing it of firing BM-21 rockets that struck homes and the Phanom Dong Rak Hospital.
In response, Cambodia claimed that Thailand bombed its territory with F-16 fighter jets, according to a media outlet. Reports added that Thai aircraft destroyed O’ Jik Bridge along the border between Siem Reap and Oddar Meanchey provinces late Friday, and on Saturday targeted civilian areas including commercial buildings and a primary school in Thmor Da district, Pursat province.
Meanwhile, China’s Special Envoy for Asian Affairs, Deng Xijun, traveled to Phnom Penh to pursue efforts aimed at reducing tensions and ending the conflict. A statement from the Cambodian Foreign Ministry confirmed that Deng met with Prime Minister Hun Manet and other senior officials on Friday.
