(BangkokPost.com) - Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sompong Amornvivat travelled to Cambodia on Wednesday to discuss the meeting framework concerning the Thai-Cambodian border row after both countries’ Joint Border Committee (JBC) meeting went smoothly earlier this week.

Before leaving for Cambodia, Mr Sompong said he and Cambodia’s Prime Minister Hun Sen will determine further proceedings after the second round of the JBC meeting discussed different issues such as boundary demarcation and the reduction of arms and troops from the two sides.

The foreign minister said both sides will try to find an agreement on demarcating the border areas to prevent the two countries from making conflicting statements.
