Thailand closes two border crossings to tourists after Cambodia clash ...Middle East

News by : (Daily Sun) -

There has been sporadic violence between the two Southeast Asian neighbours since fighting first broke out in 2008, resulting in at least 28 deaths.

The Thai and Cambodian militaries agreed to ease tensions the following day but Cambodia then said it would keep its troops in the area, despite Thailand urging it to withdraw.

Authorities in Thailand’s eastern province of Chanthaburi said in a statement on Saturday they had “temporarily suspended” crossings by Thai and Cambodian tourists at two permanent border checkpoints.

Thailand’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence Phumtham Wechayachai said in a statement on Saturday it was “deeply regrettable” that Cambodia had “rejected” the proposal to withdraw its armed forces.

The ICJ ruled in 2013 following years of violence that the disputed area belonged to Cambodia, but Thailand says it does not accept the ICJ's jurisdiction.

Thai authorities said a Joint Boundary Committee would meet next week to resolve the issue.
