Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra will tomorrow lead the Thai legal team involved in the Preah Vihear case to Parliament, to explain facts and information on the International Court of Justice's verdict.
Arriving at Suvarnabhumi Airport today, Foreign Minister Surapong Tovichakchaikul said that it is important that Thais share the same understanding towards the verdict for the peace of both nations.
He noted that the understanding would then pave way for Thailand's proposals to the Thai-Cambodian joint committee.
For now, Thailand would also work closely with Cambodia, so that the information of both sides is similar.
"These are to allow both countries to move forward. We must preserve the relations with Cambodia as our co-existence would be forever. People of both nations are happy with the verdict," he told reporters.
He added that in negotiating with Cambodia, the government would assure utmost transparency to ensure no conflict of interest.
Joining the testimony in Parliament will be Virachai Plasai, Thai ambassador to the Hague, who will arrive tomorrow.
