The People's Alliance for Democracy's (PAD) move against any involvement of Indonesia in the Thai-Cambodian border dispute was wrong, Deputy Prime Minister overseeing security Suthep Thaugsuban said on Thursday.

Mr Suthep commented after PAD spokesman Panthep Puapongpan said he will send a letter to the Indonesian embassy to oppose any intervention by Indonesia in the issues between Thailand and Cambodia.

"What Mr Panthep is doing is wrong because Indonesia is following the Asean's resolution.

"We should work with all sides to bring about peace," Mr Suthep said.

He said Indonesia would act as an observer, not as a negotiator.

"Indonesian Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa, as the Asean chair, understands the Thai-Cambodian situation and always has positive feelings toward Thailand," the deputy premier added.
