Mr. Suthin Khlangsaeng, Minister of Defense, visited Kantharalak District, Sisaket Province, to listen to a briefing on the operations of the Suranaree Force.

Mr. Suthin said that today's visit to the area came to see the true living conditions of front line soldiers who are combat units at the border. I saw and understood many things and saw the problems and needs of the soldiers. As far as I could tell, there were problems with strategic roads, which had 5-6 damaged roads and a lack of running water. Currently, it is difficult to use a truck to carry water up. Providing water does not require a large budget and I think it is within the vision that must be supported. The unit proposed the matter in order of steps, with a limit of 18 million baht.
Mr. Suthin also said that From visiting Cambodia The discussions have been taken to deliver policy at a high level. Today, come and see the practice. It is confident that the unit has followed good policy. There are also matters related to people and society. What is clearly found is the security department, the administrative department, the business sector, as well as the people. who want border trade to flourish again Especially the opening of many permanent checkpoints. This will bring the two countries' economies back to vibrancy. What is clear is the matter of the temple. The people and political parties in the area, including security agencies, agree that they want the government to push for the opening of the Preah Vihear border. which will make the economy better But from his own perspective as a minister came to exchange with the security department which sees that this can be done and wants it to be done But it must be within the framework of stability. Consider the lessons of the past that there have been unexpected complications. will cause obstacles We must help clear these obstacles first. If the obstacles are cleared, it will build the confidence of both countries. I believe there will be good news soon. and will present it to the Prime Minister
When asked whether former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra and former Prime Minister Hun Sen of Cambodia have good relations with each other. will help support this matter Make everything easier or not? Mr. Suthin said that is a part and there are many levels. It is believed that the former leaders of the two countries will have good ties. and agreed that this country must be peaceful At many levels, it is believed that there is a good relationship. At the current government level, there is a good relationship. The Minister of Defense also talked and understood each other well. Businessmen from two countries can talk to each other. Soldiers in the area can talk to each other. These are the mechanisms that keep everything moving forward. As for the matter of opening the checkpoint, it is thought that it will not take long because all 7 MPs from Sisaket Province have already written a letter to the Prime Minister. By compiling opinions from various parties. And there is still the matter being brought to the Foreign Commission. House of Representatives as well It is believed that this will not take long. The Prime Minister himself has thought about and pushed this issue as well. In conclusion, it is in line with the peace policy. that the Thai side agrees with the Cambodian side And the border on both sides must be a peaceful area. But we can't do it alone. Even though the Thai side is ready But you have to look at the Cambodian side as well.
