Bangkok: The Prime Minister believes the issue of disturbing sounds from the border will not cause Thailand to lose out on the world stage. The Prime Minister said he has not yet seen the documentary about the haunting sound of the Sa Kaeo border crossing after being challenged about the risk of human rights violations. He believes it will not put Thailand at a disadvantage on the world stage and revealed that he has already sent a letter to Trump.
According to Thai News Agency, Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior, Anutin Charnvarikul, addressed whether the release of the documentary and the haunting soundtrack along the border in Sa Kaeo Province constituted a measure of light to heavy duty. He stated that the military has given full authority to decide on the implementation of the measures, while diplomatic negotiations are the responsibility of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Yesterday, Foreign Minister Sihasak Phuangketkaew traveled to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where he met with Cambodian and Malaysian officials. He will return today. Both sides have received government support and authority to carry out their duties to the fullest extent possible.
The Prime Minister questioned whether the release of the documentary and its haunting sounds would affect human rights, as some senators had objected. He said he would listen to the documentary first, saying he had not had time to do so due to his extensive fieldwork over the weekend. However, he insisted that everything must be within the law, both Thai and international. He believed that this incident would not put Thailand at a disadvantage on the world stage, as we uphold Thai sovereignty.
Regarding US President Donald Trump’s expressed intention to mediate in negotiations to end the conflict between Thailand and Cambodia, the Prime Minister stated that he has already sent a response letter.
