Kuala Lumpur: Thailand and Cambodia have expressed strong commitments to end conflict in secretariat-level discussions, Malaysia's Chief of Defense Forces General Mohd Nizam Jaffar said here on Monday.
The talks, scheduled from Aug. 4 to 6 ahead of an extraordinary General Border Committee (GBC) meeting on Aug. 7, will also cover the terms of reference for establishing an ASEAN defense attaché monitoring team, Mohd Nizam said.
"They (Thailand and Cambodia) are now discussing the prerequisites for the team's deployment. If all goes well, we are expecting a very positive resolution by this Thursday," he told reporters after meeting with both secretariat heads.
He said that Malaysia is only acting as a facilitator ahead of the extraordinary meeting.
