The agreement to extend the stay of both foreign ministers was made after Hun Sen and his Thai counterpart, Abhisit Vejjajiva, held a trilateral talk with Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono on Sunday morning. Hun Sen said that he rarely held press briefing but decided to do so because he had “something to share” about the prolonged border clashes between the two neighbors, which he had “spoiled Asean atmosphere.” Discussion on the border issues dominated the leaders’ meeting on Saturday, with the two leaders at odds with one another.
