Thailand Seeks Neutral Venue for Border Talks With Cambodia

Thailand has requested Cambodia to move a bilateral meeting of senior security officials next week — considered crucial to de-escalating border tensions following deadly clashes — from Phnom Penh to a neutral location. Bangkok has proposed shifting the Aug. 4 General Border Committee meeting, agreed by the leaders of the two countries, to a city in Malaysia. The request was made by Thailand's Acting Defense Minister Nattaphon Narkphanit, in a letter dated July 31, to his Cambodian counterpart, citing 'the sensitive nature of the situation.'
