Thailand Cambodia disagree on solution

The standoff between Thailand and Cambodia over border clashes has entered the 14th day, with no resolution in sight. Both sides claim territory adjacent to the ancient Preah Vihear temple.
Cambodia has asked the UN Security Council for immediate intervention. Prime Minister Hun Sen says the situation continues to deteriorate and the two sides are no longer listening to each other. He warns the fighting poses a threat to regional stability.
Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva is insisting on bilateral solutions. He says Cambodia is wrong to call on the UN Security Council and third countries to intervene.
Abhisit has expressed confidence Thailand can make a strong case at the closed-door Security Council meeting in New York to show that Phnom Penh had sparked the standoff over the disputed territory.
Abhisit Vejjajiva, Thai Prime Minister, said, "Thai Foreign Minister Kasi Piromya will clarify the stances of Thailand to the UN Security Council on the border clashes. We hope to solve it through a bilateral solution, though Cambodia has decided to boycott the meeting of Thai-Cambodian Boundary Commission. But the bilateral mechanism has not lost its role."
