NSC urged to study Cambodia MoUs

Deals enable talks on border disputes

Former foreign minister Noppadon Pattama has urged the government to study the pros and cons of two memorandums of understanding (MoUs) signed with Cambodia governing disputed border areas before putting any such agreements up for a referendum.

He said the National Security Council (NSC) should conduct the study with the findings to be made public so voters are fully informed of what the 2000 and 2001 MoUs truly entail, before the government asks them in a referendum whether those pacts should now be nullified, Mr Noppadon said.
