Prime Minister Plans to Discuss Thai-Cambodian Border Issue at UN

Bangkok: The Council of State revealed that Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul is set to fly to the United Nations to address world leaders regarding the ongoing Thai-Cambodian border conflict. This decision comes amidst constraints that typically prevent such international engagements if the government has not yet made a policy statement.

According to Thai News Agency, a source from the Council of State explained that Prime Minister Charnvirakul is preparing to meet with legal experts before attending the United Nations General Assembly in New York, USA. This engagement is set to take place before the government issues its policy statement. Under normal circumstances, the government would not participate in international forums without first making a policy statement. However, exceptions are made for urgent and significant matters, requiring careful interpretation of the situation.

In response to inquiries about the Prime Minister’s intention to clarify the Thai-Cambodian border conflict with global leaders and the international community, a source from the Council of State indicated that this is indeed feasible. The trip’s purpose is crucial; while attending to deliver a mere speech would be deemed inappropriate, addressing pressing issues of international concern such as the border dispute could justify the visit.
