Cambodia threatens to ban Thai fruit and veg over border row ...Middle East

News by : (Daily Sun) -

One Cambodian soldier was killed on May 28 as troops exchanged fire in a disputed area known as the Emerald Triangle, where the borders of Cambodia, Thailand and Laos meet.

Thailand has tightened border controls with Cambodia in recent days, while Cambodia ordered troops on Friday to stay on “full alert”, banned Thai dramas from TV and cinemas, closed a popular border checkpoint, and cut internet bandwidth from Thailand.

“If the Thai side does not open border crossings to normalcy today, tomorrow we will implement throughout the border banning the imports of fruit and vegetables to Cambodia,“ Hun Sen said.

Cambodia on Sunday formally asked the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to help resolve the border dispute in four areas -- the site of last month's clash and three ancient temples.

Cambodia has repeatedly asked Thailand to jointly bring the case to the ICJ.

He said Cambodia would not back off and would respect the ICJ's ruling.

“We must come back home, and it is the suitable time. The border dispute will not end easily, so insults happen at times, and this time is more serious,“ he added.

Cambodia has previously sought help from the ICJ in a territorial dispute over a border temple.

Thailand said it did not accept the court's jurisdiction.

Violence sparked by the dispute has led to 28 deaths in the region since 2008.
