The Prime Minister asked to wait for the military to report after the full 72-hour ceasefire. He said that a JBC meeting can only proceed if there is sincerity. If the reasons are sound, Thailand is ready to negotiate. Regarding the 20 million yuan aid offered by China, this must wait for Foreign Minister Sihasak to consult with relevant parties.

Regarding Cambodia's push for Thailand to join the Joint Boundary Committee (JBC) meeting by going directly to the Cambodian side, the Prime Minister said that they are monitoring the situation. Everything must be based on sincerity and the genuine intention to establish peace in the region. If so, Thailand is ready to discuss and find solutions together.
On the progress of China's offer to help Thailand with 20 million yuan for restoring damages to people and property, the Prime Minister said it was a proposal made during a meeting among the foreign ministers of Thailand, Cambodia, and China.
