Deputy Prime Minister in charge of security affairs Suthep Thaugsuban said on Sunday he is ready to hold talks with the Cambodian government immediately once he receives the order from Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva.

"I ask all sides not to be too worried about the Thai-Cambodian border row and the interviews given by Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen. If there is a problem affecting Thailand, the Foreign Ministry and relevant agencies will deal with it right away," Mr Suthep said.

The deputy premier said the Foreign Ministry had additional information regarding the border issue to clarify.

Foreign Minister's secretary Chavanond Intarakomalyasut said Thailand and Cambodia both agreed to use satellite technology to settle the border demarcation dispute at the Special Meeting of the Cambodian-Thai Joint Commission on Demarcation of Land Boundary (JBC) on Nov 2008 and the JBC meetings in Bangkok and Phnom Penh earlier last year.
