Auf Cambodiaexpatsonline habe ich diesen interessanten Beitrag gefunden, der anscheinend aus dem facebook accounts des thailaendischen Oberkiffers uebernommen worden war:
The Prime Minister addressed the concerns that the negotiation might put Thailand at a disadvantage, explaining that he decided to livestream to give confidence that none of the 4 clauses in the declaration to be signed today (Oct 26) with the Cambodian government will disadvantage Thailand, not even one. This declaration is not a treaty, so it does not require parliamentary ratification, having already been approved by the Cabinet.
It has 4 main key points that the Cambodian government must implement: 1. The withdrawal of heavy weaponry from the border area, 2. Demining and clearing of explosive ordnance, 3. Cooperation in suppressing scammer crime or technological crime, and 4. Seeking a path for joint management of the overlapping claim area to prevent problems. All four points must be initiated by Cambodia first. Once they begin, we will then assess and proceed further with creating peace in the relationship between the two countries.
"There is no indication that we will open checkpoints or take any action that suggests surrendering territory, such as 'we will lose land,' 'we will build a fence,' or 'we will use the 1:200,000 area.' Right now, Thailand is not under any of these conditions.
“This declaration is simply a guideline for both countries to implement to bring about peace and tranquility in the border area of both countries and in the relationship between the two countries. We do not wish to be an enemy to anyone, not a single person. We naturally love peace; as our national anthem says, 'Thais love peace, but will not shrink from war.' This is what Thailand has always adhered to since we have had issues in our relationship with Cambodia.
“We still firmly uphold this framework: Thais love peace, but we have never shrunk from war. Therefore, I ask the people to be confident that the Thai government, including the military and the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has worked tirelessly to reach this point. Please be assured once again," said the Prime Minister.
Anutin also mentioned that he has experience negotiating since his time in the private sector and does not feel, even slightly, that the declaration we are signing today with Cambodia, which will be witnessed by the Prime Minister of Malaysia and President Donald Trump of the United States, contains any point that would put our country, Thailand, at a disadvantage. He stated that he is not focused on advantage or disadvantage but on the safety of the people, and preserving Thailand's honour, sovereignty, and territory in all aspects.
Regarding the agreement on border demarcation, which some claim means we have accepted the 1:200,000 map, he said that is untrue. "We have never accepted it. But now, new technology called LiDAR is available. When we proceed with negotiations for complete boundary demarcation, this technology will be used... More:
