Surin (Thailand), 26 July (LaPresse/AP) – Cambodian Ambassador to the United Nations Chhea Keo told reporters that his country, which requested the emergency meeting, ‘has called for an immediate, unconditional ceasefire and a peaceful resolution to the dispute.’ The ambassador rejected accusations that Cambodia had attacked Thailand, asking how a small country without an air force could attack a much larger country with an army three times its size. Keo added that the Security Council had called on both sides to exercise ‘maximum restraint and resort to diplomacy’, which is exactly what Cambodia is asking for. The Thai ambassador left the meeting without speaking to journalists.
