Deputy Defence Minister and Acting Minister of Defense General Nattaphon Narkphanit has outlined a three-category evaluation for the recently concluded Thailand-Cambodia General Border Committee (GBC) talks.
The first category, he stated, is the sincerity of Cambodia at the secretariat level, which showed positive signs. This was demonstrated by expressions of willingness to cooperate on the majority of proposals from Thailand. However, these did not include key issues of landmine clearance and the eradication of online scams.
The second category was the extraordinary session itself, where the Acting Defense Minister affirmed that Thailand will adhere to the agreements made during the talks.
The third and most critical category is the actual implementation of the agreements on the ground. This stage will be enforced and monitored through several bilateral mechanisms. These include the Regional Border Committee (RBC), which consists of regional commanders from both countries, the GBC itself, and the newly established interim observer team, which includes military attachés from ASEAN member nations.
