Deputy Prime Minister for security affairs Suthep Thaugsuban said before leaving for Cambodia on Saturday morning that Thailand has no policy to cut number of military force deployed along Thai-Cambodia border for the time being.
Mr Suthep stated that he was assigned by the prime minister to attend the opening ceremony of No 67 highway in Cambodia on his behalf. Thailand had provided 1.2 billion baht soft loan for the construction of this highway which links cities of the two neighboring countries. The highway will help promote trade and tourism between the two nations. Cambodian prime minister Hun Sen will preside over the ceremony today.
The deputy premier insisted that the troop withdrawal was not on the discussion agenda of his today trip as it is the matter of security units of both Thailand and Cambodia. He was confident that the situation along the border will not escalate to violent confrontation between the two countries.
