The government has threatened new demonstrations against it because it has not responded to their request to rescind a 2001 memorandum of understanding with Cambodia regarding overlapping regional states in the Gulf of Thailand.

They assert that the MoU risks compromising Thai territorial integrity and protecting its marine tools. &nbsp,

When the government had a 15-day window to confiscation the memorandum of understanding with Cambodia and the then-Chambodhi counterpart’s joint statement from former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra and his then-Cambodge equivalent Hun Sen, Mr. Sondhi and a group of followers showed up at the Government House problems center on Tuesday.

The MoU relates to the posting of asset growth.

The MoU and the statement, according to the Sondhi group, could be read as Thailand acknowledges Cambodia’s regional state, which overlaps with Thai territorial statements and privileges to marine sources in the Gulf of Thailand.

Mr. Sondhi claimed that the government had not longer taken any action in response to the date.

His team had previously requested that the government request that the Constitutional Court rule on whether the MoU was democratic and to set up public forums on the MoU so that the public may have their say.

The government’s trying silence may damage the national attention and his team did take action to protect Thai independence, Mr Sondhi said.

Parnthep Pourpongpan, who accompanied Mr Sondhi, said Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra had promised to discuss the matter with Mr Sondhi, but failed to do so. She had even rejected the&nbsp, proposed people conference, saying that critics already had the grievances centre at Government House, according to Mr Parnthep.

The president’s even reply had been to recognize their criticism, Mr Parnthep said.

” Does the lack of answer mean that there is interest in our city rallies”? he said.

In order to pressure the state into a good answer, Mr. Parnthep said his party intended to stage a protest outside the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the legislature, and early in the year, the Royal Thai Navy’s office.

” The problem is already on people’s heads”, he said.

Prime Minister Paetongtarn stated on Tuesday that the government was soliciting input from as many events as possible regarding the issue.

When asked about the requited people forum, she responded that it was delicate and needed to be handled properly.
