Surapong said he would also discuss with Hor Nam Hong about preparations for the next meeting of the Joint Commission on the Bilateral Cooperation between Thailand and Cambodia (JC).
Surapong said he would also find out the progress of the appeal of two Thais - Veera Somkwamkid and Ratree Pipattanapaibul – for a royal pardon. The two have been convicted of spying and have been detained in a Cambodian prison.
