Cambodia 'playing the victim', Thailand tells global mediators
- SINGAPORE: Thailand accused Cambodia on Tuesday (Sep 15) of playing the victim in a dispute over maritime resources, as the Southeast Asian neighbours took their feud to international mediators a year after deadly clashes over their land border.
- Cambodia, which initiated the case before the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) in Singapore, said it hoped the hearings would yield a peaceful resolution for both countries.
- In May this year, Thailand unilaterally pulled out of a bilateral framework agreement that aimed to resolve overlapping maritime border claims, but denied any link to their land
