Senior officials visit Si Sa Ket's border to allay people's fear

With the International Court of Justice's (ICJ) ruling on the Preah Vihear case expected next Monday, high-ranking officials have headed to the border province of Si Sa Ket to allay concerns among local people.

Foreign Affairs Ministry’s deputy permanent secretary Nuttavudh Photisaro downplayed concerns that the ICJ would award the disputed area of 4.6 square metres to Cambodia. 
“I personally believe that the ICJ won’t rule that way,” he said at an academic seminar in Si Sa Ket.
The event attracted a number of locals who were anxious about the upcoming ruling and its ramifications.
