Speaking during a visit to Suan Luang Rama IX Park, Mr Abhisit, leader of the Democrat Party and a prime ministerial candidate, said the recent buildup of Cambodian forces and heavy weapons was a worrying signal that required urgent diplomatic engagement rather than confrontation.

“The world is watching this situation closely, and there is already an understanding that there should be no further fighting)” he said.
