The Thai-Cambodia Joint Border Committee (JBC) will meet on Nov 27 at 28 at the Dusit Thani hotel in Pattaya, defence ministry spokesman Col Thanathip Saengsawang said on Friday.

“It will be a ministerial level defence meeting to discuss border security and military cooperation,” Col Thanathip said.

Defence Minister Gen Prawit Wongsuwon would use his ties with Cambodian military leaders to help ease the current tension between the two countries.

The spokesman said that military relations between the two countries remain intact despite the diplomatic row between Bangkok and Phnom Penh.

The Defence Ministry hopes to help settle the dispute between the two governments and at the same time to strengthen ties and trust on both sides, Col Thanathip said.

IF "military relations between the two countries remain intact" then why did Anapong find it imperative to cancel the bilateral sports day planned for the two military camps. Wouldn't that have done more to foster good will.

We seem to get a lot of double speak without the media actually ever noticing.

Can't help wondering why it is necessary to tell everybody exactly where the meeting is to be held?
