Thailand has appointed conciliators from South Africa and Germany for an arbitration process by the United Nations (UN) that was initiated by Cambodia to resolve a long-running maritime dispute, Foreign Affairs Minister Sihasak Phuangketkeow told reporters on Tuesday.
Cambodia launched the compulsory conciliation process under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) earlier this month, after Thailand had unilaterally ended a 2001 agreement that provided a framework for negotiations over the disputed area in the Gulf of Thailand.
