Thailand Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya (pictured) asserted that the presence of an Indonesian observation team could only be realized after Cambodia withdrew its troops from the disputed temple area. “What we are asking is simple; all [Cambodian] soldiers should leave the [temple] area,” he told reporters on the sidelines of the ASEAN summit on Saturday. He said that Thailand would still wait on bilateral meetings between the defense ministers of the two countries before replying to the letter from Indonesia concerning the “terms of reference” for the Indonesian observation team. He said that Thailand had proposed the meeting of the two country’s defense ministers to settle the bilateral confrontation that has escalated over the last three months. “Cambodia’s side refuses to come to the negotiation meeting. The problem is not us,” he said. The Jakarta Post, Jakarta, 05/07/2011Sunday, May 8, 2011
