Thailand to form committee for maritime talks

Thailand's Foreign Ministry is moving forward with plans to establish a Joint Technical Committee (JTC) with Cambodia to negotiate overlapping maritime claims. The initiative aims to establish a framework for joint resource management and benefits sharing in the disputed maritime area.

The proposed JTC will be led by Thai Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister, comprising over 20 members from legal, security, and energy sectors. Once the cabinet approves the JTC formation, discussions with Cambodia can commence promptly
