Thailand declares no compromise on sovereignty

On June 4, Thai Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Phumtham Wechayachai announced that the country will not compromise on sovereignty, noting that diplomacy remains the preferred solution to resolve disputes.

The statement was made by Deputy Prime Minister Phumtham after visiting Nam Yuen district, Ubon Ratchathani province, where he received a situation summary from the Suranaree Task Force regarding the Thai-Cambodian border tension.

“The forces here are fully prepared to respond to any situation... If more help is needed to improve operational flexibility, especially in the long term, the government is more than willing to assist. When it comes to sovereignty , we cannot and will not compromise,” Mr Phumtham said.

In addition, according to the Thai Deputy Prime Minister, initial assessments showed that information about mines recently planted by Cambodian soldiers was incorrect; the devices found were left over from the past.

Mr. Phumtham warned that such false information would deepen misunderstandings and damage trust between each side.

Besides, he emphasized that Thailand wants to resolve disagreements through direct dialogue and use all possible peaceful solutions, while calling for maximum calm and restraint./.
