PHNOM PENH: Cambodia has imposed the precondition that Thailand re-open the border before any meetings at the military level (RBC) or the Cambodia-Thailand General Border Committee (GBC) level can take place, as bilateral relations between the two countries continue to decline, strongly affecting trade ties.
Speaking on Monday (June 23), Prime Minister Hun Manet confirmed that he had instructed the Ministry of National Defence not to hold meetings with Thailand regarding border reopening negotiations until Thailand — whether at the government or military level — reopens the border, which they unilaterally closed.
