PHNOM PENH, June 14 (Bernama) -- Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen called on Thailand to cooperate in resolving bilateral border dispute issues through peaceful negotiations.
"A well-established cooperative ties serves as an important basis for the two countries to address their current border dispute issues, Hun Sen told the Vietnam news agency after meeting with the new Thai Ambassador to Cambodia Sompong Sanguanbun on Monday.
During the meeting, Hun Sen said that the two countries need to cooperate within the framework of ASEAN towards building the ASEAN Community by 2015 and that he was optimist about prospects of reaching this objective.
While, the new ambassador pledged to work with the Cambodian Government to restore and strengthen relations between the two nations.
