Thailand to explain border conflict with Cambodia to United Nations
Bangkok – Thailand is to send its foreign minister to the UN Security Council in New York next week to give its version of a border conflict with Cambodia, officials said Wednesday.
Kasit Piromya is to attend a council meeting on the conflict over disputed land near the 11th-century Preah Vihear border temple, which erupted into open fighting last week, leaving three Thais and five Cambodians dead.
‘We’re taking it as a good opportunity to inform the Security Council what transpired,’ Foreign Ministry spokesman Thani Thongpakdi said.
