 Thailand's Ministry of Defense confirmed
Tuesday that a survey team assigned by the ASEAN did not enter the 4.6 square km disputed zone at the Thai-Cambodian border, and the operation will not affect any existing agreements.
Defense Ministry Spokesperson Colonel Thanathip Sawangsaeng stated that the survey had been agreed in the 5th ASEAN Defense Ministers Meeting at Jakarta, Indonesia.
He elaborated that the unarmed survey team, which is comprised of three members from each country -- Thailand, Cambodia and Indonesia, would take about 1-2 days in their mission.
The team had nothing to do with any existing agreements or Terms of Reference (ToR), the guideline for deploying Indonesian observers to station along the border, he added.
