BANGKOK: Thailand’s Foreign Minister Sihasak Phuangketkeow said on Monday (Feb 2) that there are still channels for dialogue over the Thailand-Cambodia border situation, after an incident on Friday (Jan 30) evening in which Cambodia allegedly fired rounds that crossed into Thai territory. He said the priority is to rebuild mutual trust, with discussions continuing at the local level.

He said incidents can sometimes stem from misunderstandings, but any developments that raise concern must be addressed through communication and fact-finding, noting that existing mechanisms are working.
