View of Mr. Kasit Piromya, an active member of the PAD, the new Thai Foreign Minister, under PM Abhisit Vejjajava over the Preah Vihear ownership issue:
- "A return to Thai ownership of the Preah Vihear Temple is not an option"
- "The Preah Vihear case would be handled in line with the 1904 and 1907 Siam-Franco treaties, the 1962 International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruling and the 2000 Memorandum of Understanding on boundary demarcation"
- "Vasin Teeravechyan would retain his position as co-chair of the Thai-Cambodia Joint Commission on Demarcation for Land Boundary"
- "it is our intention to cooperate with Cambodia and the Unesco"
- "Thailand should have a representative in the International Coordinating Committee (ICC) to protect and develop Cambodia's Preah Vihear"
