The planned joint celebration between Thai and Cambodian troops along the Ta Thav Pass frontline has been delayed. Thai troops have decided to delay the celebration originally planned for 25 August, General Chhum Socheat, spokesman of the ministry of Defense, claimed. Chhum Socheat told the Rasmei Kampuchea newspaper in the morning of 24 August that: “They informed us [about the cancellation] last week. They did not tell us the cause of the cancellation of this joint celebration. They only told us that they don’t have time, and to wait for next time.” It was Thai troops along the frontline who proposed to hold a joint celebration with Cambodian soldiers stationed along the Ta Thav Pass frontline. Thai soldiers originally asked to hold the celebration on Tuesday 25 August.
