LONG-RUNNING ROW
Hun Manet said Tuesday evening he wanted to maintain “peace and good cooperation” with Thailand.
“Filing a complaint at the ICJ to resolve the dispute peacefully is our best option to keep friendship and good cooperation with Thailand,” he said.
The two sides held talks in Phnom Penh at the weekend, which Thailand said had made progress, but the row shows little sign of dying down.
Cambodia on Tuesday banned imports of Thai fruit and vegetables after Bangkok refused to lift border crossing restrictions imposed in recent days.
Cambodia last week banned Thai dramas from TV and cinemas, closed a popular border checkpoint, and cut internet bandwidth from Thailand.
Hun Manet said Tuesday that a return to normality depended on the Thai authorities.
“The ball is in the hands of (the) Thai side, Thai military,” he added.
