Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva on Wednesday denied reports that Thailand pulled out of planned ceasefire talk with Cambodia, saying Defence Minister Prawit Wongsuwan is engaged with a foreign trip.
Abhisit said that Thailand will make a new appointment with Cambodia to talk about the ceasefire with Cambodia's Defence Minister Gen Tea Banh when Prawit comes back from China.
Abhisit was speaking during a visit to Surin province to visit people affected by skirmish between Thai and Cambodian troops. The visit was not scheduled.
The battles that started on April 22 killed at least 13 Thai soldiers. Both sides blame each other for starting the fighting.
Meanwhile Prawit said his trip to China is planned long time ago. Earlier report said that Prawit would travel to Phnom Penh today to hold talks with Tea Banh in an attempt to cease the ongoing border fightings between both troops.
