Vietnam is busy consulting other ASEAN member countries on a proposal to make ASEAN play an intermediary role in settling the Preah Vihear Temple conflict between Thailand and Cambodia, said Vietnam’s foreign ministry spokesperson.

Replying to reporters’ query on Vietnam’s reaction to that proposal on August 17, spokeswoman Nguyen Phuong Nga said Vietnam’s wish is that Thailand and Cambodia solve their Preah Vihear Temple conflict by peaceful measures and dialogue.

These measures will suit the agreements already reached by the two countries and avoid armed clashes that would affect ASEAN unity, she said. (VNA)
