70
00:05:16.161 --> 00:05:17.433
uh agreed

71
00:05:17.438 --> 00:05:26.023
by  the general border  committee meeting  yesterday in  Malaysia  in terms of  our assess ment of the  outcomes of  the  GBC meeting

72
00:05:25.887 --> 00:05:28.486
we  have deemed  it of success

73
00:05:28.397 --> 00:05:30.089
and  of course uh with

74
00:05:29.997 --> 00:05:30.278

75
00:05:30.246 --> 00:05:31.484
the C5

76
00:05:31.395 --> 00:05:38.641
being  implemented  and en forced as of  this moment  this will help  create  the safe  environment  for the public

77
00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:43.061
and  also the other  point  will be  uh be re affirmation

that  the continuation of  the use  of bil ateral mechanism s to  resolve this is sue will be  implemented as well

00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:54.594
as  uh the overall  assessment of the  GB C uh will actually

80
00:05:54.656 --> 00:06:00.357
we  deem it again  as I  mentioned  very succ essful  uh at the  level of the secretary

81
00:06:00.097 --> 00:06:06.940
meeting  as well as the  actual  proper G BC meeting  as well but  it's uh the  last point that  we would  like to emphasize is

82
00:06:07.147 --> 00:06:12.845
at  the end of the day  is  the sincerity  of both  sides especially  on the  Cambodian side

83
00:06:12.660 --> 00:06:16.716
on  the implementation  of the agreement  that is still

84
00:06:16.760 --> 00:06:18.486
uh  have to wait to  be seen

85
00:06:18.488 --> 00:06:23.953
now  yesterday Malay sia also  reaffirmed to  Thailand and  Malaysia

86
00:06:23.866 --> 00:06:29.399
uh  I made you  part of Thailand  and Cambodia  of Malaysia's role

87
00:06:29.318 --> 00:06:34.886
that  the asean member  states as well  as Malaysia  will be within

88
00:06:34.885 --> 00:06:37.053
um

89
00:06:36.936 --> 00:06:43.076
acting  as observers only  and they  would like to see  the  bil ateral mechanism

90
00:06:43.025 --> 00:06:48.802
between  Thailand and  Cambodia  uh put into  place in res olving the issue  between the  2 countries

91
00:06:48.914 --> 00:06:50.283
and

92
00:06:50.197 --> 00:06:56.173
roles  of the United  States  and China  uh we'll also  remain  as of service  and they are ready

93
00:06:56.278 --> 00:07:01.813
to  provide support  to both sides to  ensure  the succ ess of  the ceasefire  negotiations

94
00:07:01.595 --> 00:07:07.259

tuning  in from home  from work  wherever  you are  on the  Foreign Affairs side I have

99
00:07:22.935 --> 00:07:28.416
1  important topic  to share with our  listeners  today  it's only 1 top ic but it's an important 1

100
00:07:28.246 --> 00:07:34.666
that  so I am  pleased  um to be able  to share  some  thoughts and Reflections on  that  the topic is

101
00:07:34.525 --> 00:07:39.868
is the  online meeting  with Thai  ambassadors  consoles General  and permanent

102
00:07:39.785 --> 00:07:45.224
Mission Representatives  on the issue  of the  thigh Cambodia  border  situation

103
00:07:45.094 --> 00:07:51.234
yesterday  evening from  6 pm to 8 :30 p.m. the  foreign minister Mr Maria

104
00:07:51.114 --> 00:07:59.873
chaired an  online meeting  with our ambassadors  and consuls General  from Thai  embassies  and permanent  missions  and consul ates General around the world

105
00:07:59.764 --> 00:08:06.118
the  ministry's  executive team  led  by permanent  secretary  xeri Venti

106
00:08:05.794 --> 00:08:13.091
also  participated  in the meeting  the main  objective of  this session  was to  brief our am bassadors  and our teams

107
00:08:12.834 --> 00:08:19.277
abroad  on the latest  development s in the  Thai Cambodia border sit uation this is

108
00:08:19.233 --> 00:08:24.540
crit ical for them  because it allow s them to  then be  able to  communicate the latest

109
00:08:24.433 --> 00:08:30.333
fact s on the ground  regard ing the situation  which leads  to an  accurate understanding of

110
00:08:30.133 --> 00:08:35.368
of  Thailand's  positions and  actions it  is important  in order for  us to

111
00:08:35.314 --> 00:08:42.091
be  able to protect  our  interests in every  country organ ization and frame work and  actually to deliver

112
00:08:41.984 --> 00:08:42.974
the same

113
00:08:42.875 --> 00:08:45.068
message  of Truth

114
00:08:48.835 --> 00:08:54.297
the  situation  at present  the online  meeting was also  key at this

115
00:08:54.284 --> 00:08:59.580
particular  juncture because  the for eign minister was  able to  share  the outcomes

116
00:08:59.403 --> 00:09:07.000
and  details of the  extra ordinary session  of the general  border  committee G BC meeting between  Thailand  and Cambodia that

117
00:09:06.643 --> 00:09:07.230
that took

118
00:09:06.963 --> 00:09:14.609
place  in Malaysia  just yesterday  and we  heard from  these spok esperson for  security Affairs just  now the  details of the

119
00:09:14.273 --> 00:09:19.921
the  13 points that  have been  agreed  some of the  key detail s for instance  that are

120
00:09:19.713 --> 00:09:25.217
actually  currently being  picked up  slightly  inaccurately  by the media regards

121
00:09:25.154 --> 00:09:30.837
the  interim  Observer team  that's the  iot that  will observe

122
00:09:30.673 --> 00:09:34.539
comp liance with  the ceasefire both sides

123
00:09:34.322 --> 00:09:39.731
have  agreed to this  idea  actually since  the 28 th of July  at the first

124
00:09:39.511 --> 00:09:45.183
discuss ion on the  ceasefire  and yesterday  it was  finalized in  Kuala Lumpur

125
00:09:45.721 --> 00:09:46.567
it is

126
00:09:46.491 --> 00:09:51.955
important  because it's  something that can  be  implemented quite  immediately whereas

127
00:09:51.943 --> 00:09:54.453
a  monitoring  team which was

128
00:09:54.371 --> 00:10:03.206
misquoted  to be the  agreement  between the 2  sides  requires more  discussion and  the cons ideration of  other parties

129
00:10:04.112 --> 00:10:08.221
this  is an  important dist inction and we maintain

130
00:10:08.211 --> 00:10:13.428
the  importance of  bilateral  mechanism s once again  in our

131
00:10:13.523 --> 00:10:18.410
work  to address  the issues  between Thailand  and Cambodia

132
00:10:19.871 --> 00:10:25.944
even  further to the  outcomes  of the T BC the  foreign minister  was also  able to  underline with

133
00:10:25.834 --> 00:10:28.813
all  our offices around  the world  that these

134
00:10:28.640 --> 00:10:31.146
out comes are not only

135
00:10:31.271 --> 00:10:36.296
succ essful but they  are in  line with  Thailand's position s and objectives

136
00:10:36.200 --> 00:10:42.604
taken  all along  he also  reaffirmed the principle  that he had  asked  our offices to  underline with

137
00:10:42.552 --> 00:10:48.802
the  International Community  and that is  that Thailand  remains committed  to the truth  to international law

138
00:10:48.700 --> 00:10:53.265
and  principles and  of course  to domestic  law and to

139
00:10:53.241 --> 00:10:54.709
conduct ourselves

140
00:10:54.524 --> 00:10:54.765

141
00:10:54.843 --> 00:11:01.576
with  full sincer ity and  in good faith  in our  efforts  to resolve  the situation peacefully

142
00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:02.783
we  will also

143
00:11:02.721 --> 00:11:09.595
certain ly continue to  uphold  our sovereign ty and national interests  our permanent  secretary  yesterday also took

144
00:11:09.321 --> 00:11:16.012
to ok this opportunity  to raise  very specific issues  and to ask  for  the heads of  our  missions abroad

145
00:11:15.860 --> 00:11:16.630
to

146
00:11:16.430 --> 00:11:16.958

147
00:11:16.881 --> 00:11:23.477
the  understanding of the  International Community  as it regard s to  the action s that Thailand  has taken  thus far

148
00:11:23.350 --> 00:11:24.382
our  embassies

149
00:11:24.314 --> 00:11:29.652
per manent missions and  consulates  worldwide  were then able  to provide  the meeting  with updates

150
00:11:29.513 --> 00:11:35.190
from  their respective  locations which incl udes first of all  for  all of our offices abroad

information  on the current  situation  and for our  missions to  International organiz ations abroad our colleagues

155
00:11:57.178 --> 00:12:03.396

156
00:12:03.199 --> 00:12:09.471
discuss  key issues together  face -to-face even  if virt ually in some  let me assure

157
00:12:09.219 --> 00:12:15.025
the  Thai people that  are Teen Thailand  every where are working  hard together  to reach out

158
00:12:14.920 --> 00:12:17.581
to  the global  Community especially at

the  situation  at present  the online  meeting was also

331
00:23:56.463 --> 00:24:01.829
key  at this part icular  juncture because the  foreign  minister was  able to share

332
00:24:01.785 --> 00:24:02.938
the outcomes

333
00:24:02.802 --> 00:24:10.327

00:24:10.365 --> 00:24:16.272
place  in Malaysia  just yesterday  and we heard  from the se spokes person for  security Affairs just

336
00:24:16.003 --> 00:24:22.257
now  the details  of the  13 points that  have been  agreed some of the  key details for instance

00:24:22.096 --> 00:24:28.229
that  are actually current ly being picked  up  slightly in accurately by the media

338
00:24:28.113 --> 00:24:28.730
regards

339
00:24:28.502 --> 00:24:29.988
the interim

340
00:24:29.843 --> 00:24:35.401
Observer  team that's the  iot  that will  observe compliance

341
00:24:35.282 --> 00:24:37.938
with  the ceasefire both sides

342
00:24:37.725 --> 00:24:43.080
have  agreed to this  idea  actually since  the 2 8th of July  at the first

343
00:24:42.906 --> 00:24:47.138
discuss ion on the  ceasefire  and yesterday  it was finalized

in  Kuala Lumpur

345
00:24:48.992 --> 00:24:49.962
it is

346
00:24:49.893 --> 00:24:52.745
important  because it's something  that can be

347
00:24:52.653 --> 00:24:54.266
implemented quite

348
00:24:53.994 --> 00:24:59.686
immed iately whereas  a monitor ing team which  was mis quoted to be

349
00:24:59.567 --> 00:25:06.690
the  agreement between the  2 sides  requires  more discuss ion and the  consideration  of other parties

350
00:25:07.574 --> 00:25:11.619
this  is an  important distinction  and we maintain

351
00:25:11.613 --> 00:25:16.716
the  importance of  bilateral  mechanism s once again  in our

352
00:25:16.934 --> 00:25:21.789
work  to address  the issues  between Thailand  and Cambodia

353
00:25:22.694 --> 00:25:23.413
and

354
00:25:23.264 --> 00:25:29.382
even  further to the  outcomes of  the TBC  the foreign  minister was  also  able to underline with

355
00:25:29.226 --> 00:25:32.354
all  our offices around  the world  that these

356
00:25:32.106 --> 00:25:33.304

but  they are in  line with  Thailand's  positions and  objectives

360

361
00:25:45.944 --> 00:25:52.249
the  International Community and  that is  that Thailand  remains committed to  the truth  to international law

363
00:25:52.353 --> 00:25:56.674

20 25 if the  situation  escalates  a special TV C session  may be convened

491
00:34:00.122 --> 00:34:05.408
immed iately so these are  all the  13 -point agreements uh agreed

492
00:34:05.703 --> 00:34:13.757
by  the general border  committee meeting  yesterday in  Malaysia  in terms of  our assess ment of the  outcomes of  the GBC meeting

493
00:34:13.581 --> 00:34:16.471
we  have teamed it of success

494
00:34:16.391 --> 00:34:18.031
and  of course uh with

495
00:34:18.002 --> 00:34:18.294

496
00:34:18.191 --> 00:34:19.405
the ceasefire

497
00:34:19.341 --> 00:34:24.686
being  implemented  and en forced as of  this moment this  will help  create the

498
00:34:24.591 --> 00:34:30.938
safe  environment for  the public  and also  the other point  will be  uh be reaffirmation

499
00:34:31.062 --> 00:34:36.995
that  the continuation of  the use  of bil ateral me chanisms to  resolve this  issue will be  implemented as well

500
00:34:37.281 --> 00:34:42.610
as  uh the overall  assessment of  the G BC  uh will actually

501
00:34:42.602 --> 00:34:48.284
we  deem it again  as I mentioned  very  successful  uh at the  level of the secretary

502
00:34:48.102 --> 00:34:54.850
meeting  as well as the  actual  proper GB C meeting as well  but it's  uh the last  point that  we would like  to emphasize is

503
00:34:55.091 --> 00:35:00.801
at  the end of the day  is  the sincerity  of both  sides especially  on the Cambodian side

504
00:35:00.662 --> 00:35:04.668
on  the implementation  of the agreement  that is still

505
00:35:04.702 --> 00:35:06.424
uh  have to wait  to be seen

506
00:35:06.492 --> 00:35:06.734

507
00:35:06.621 --> 00:35:12.093
now  yesterday Malay sia also  reaffirmed  to Thailand  and Malaysia

508
00:35:12.062 --> 00:35:13.192
uh

509
00:35:13.151 --> 00:35:17.396
I  make your part  in Thailand  and  Cambodia  of Malaysia's role

510
00:35:17.261 --> 00:35:22.833
that  the as ean member  states as  well as Malaysia  will be within

511
00:35:22.821 --> 00:35:24.998
um we'll be

512
00:35:24.881 --> 00:35:31.066
acting  as observers only  and they  would like to see  the  bilateral mechanism

513
00:35:30.960 --> 00:35:36.704
between  Thailand and  Cambodia  uh put into  place  in resolving the  issue between  the 2 countries

514
00:35:36.922 --> 00:35:38.202
and

515
00:35:38.200 --> 00:35:44.103
roles  of the United States  and  China uh  we'll also remain  as of  service and  they are ready

516
00:35:44.291 --> 00:35:51.147
to  provide support  to both sides  to ensure  the  success of the  ceasefire neg otiations and  to achieve a sustained

517
00:35:50.820 --> 00:35:56.382

525
00:36:27.720 --> 00:36:34.207
Mission Representatives  on the issue  of the  thigh Cambodia  border  situation  yesterday evening

526
00:36:34.191 --> 00:36:39.765

Hong  chaired an  online meeting  with our ambassadors  and consuls  General from  Thai em bassies and per manent missions and cons

530
00:36:58.152 --> 00:37:03.326
to brief our  ambassadors  and our  teams  abroad on the latest

531
00:37:03.220 --> 00:37:09.425
devel opments in the  thigh Cambodia  border sit uation this  is critical  for them  because it allows

532
00:37:09.300 --> 00:37:15.430
cause  them to then be  able to  communic ate the latest  facts on  the ground  regarding  the situation was

533
00:37:15.450 --> 00:37:20.738
lead s to an  accurate understand ing of Thailand 's positions  and actions

534
00:37:20.700 --> 00:37:23.298
it  is important in  order for us  to

535
00:37:23.201 --> 00:37:28.075
be  able to protect  our interests  in every country  organiz ation and framework

536

message  of Truth

538
00:37:36.780 --> 00:37:41.130
the  situation  at present  the online  meeting was  also

539
00:37:41.009 --> 00:37:46.382
key  at this part icular juncture  because the  foreign minister  was able to  share

540
00:37:46.329 --> 00:37:47.463
the outcomes

541
00:37:47.352 --> 00:37:53.749
and  details of the  extra ordinary session  of the general  border  committee G BC meeting  between Thailand

542
00:37:53.631 --> 00:37:55.126
and  Cambodia that took

543
00:37:54.909 --> 00:38:01.314
place  in Malaysia  just yesterday  and we heard  from the se spokesperson  for security  Affairs just now

544
00:38:01.191 --> 00:38:06.766
the  details of  the 13  points that  have been  agreed  some of the key  details for instance

545
00:38:06.630 --> 00:38:12.497
that  are actually  currently being  picked up  slightly  inaccurately  by the media

546
00:38:12.460 --> 00:38:13.248
regards

547
00:38:13.039 --> 00:38:18.828
the  interim  Observer  team that's the  iot  that will observe

548
00:38:18.809 --> 00:38:22.496
comp liance with  the ceasefire both sides

549
00:38:22.259 --> 00:38:27.599
have  agreed to this  idea  actually since  the 2 8th of July  at the first

550
00:38:27.459 --> 00:38:31.735
disc ussion on  the cease fire and  yesterday it  was finalized

551
00:38:31.550 --> 00:38:33.619
in  Kuala Lumpur

552
00:38:33.539 --> 00:38:34.505
it is

553
00:38:34.439 --> 00:38:37.284
important  because it's something  that can be

554
00:38:37.188 --> 00:38:42.482
imp lemented quite  immediately where as a mon itoring team which was

555
00:38:42.318 --> 00:38:48.081
misquoted  to be the  agreement  between the 2  sides  requires more  discussion

556
00:38:47.950 --> 00:38:51.317
and  the consider ation of other parties

557
00:38:51.349 --> 00:38:51.661

558
00:38:51.988 --> 00:38:56.163
this  is an  important distinction  and we maintain

559
00:38:56.150 --> 00:39:01.249
the  importance of  bilateral  mechanism s once again  in our

560
00:39:01.469 --> 00:39:06.357
work  to address the  issues  between Thailand and  Cambodia

561
00:39:07.240 --> 00:39:07.914
and

562
00:39:07.818 --> 00:39:13.882
even  further to the  outcomes of  the TBC  the foreign  minister was  also able  to underline with

563
00:39:13.778 --> 00:39:17.023
all  our offices around  the world that these
