Thai foreign minister says border talks productive
 
The efforts to work out the Thai-Cambodian border dispute have progressed considerably, Thai Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Affairs Minister Sompong Amornvivat said on Sunday morning.

Sompong said on a television program he planned to ask the parliament to consider the framework of the Thai-Cambodian Joint Border Committee (JBC) on Oct. 28.

Sompong said Prime Minister and Defense Minister Somchai Wongsawat had informal talks with Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen at the 7th Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM), and both sides would like to cooperate and work out the border row peacefully through bilateral talks to spur investment of the two countries.

No forces will be used to solve the problem, the foreign minister added.

Meanwhile, he said the Thai premier had the opportunity to exchange views and ideas with foreign delegates at the ASEM and they discussed ways to prepare for and deal with the global economic crisis.
