柬埔寨与泰国海洋划界调解委员会第二次会议在海牙举行 柬方寻求缔约划界或联合开发协议
金边——据柬埔寨国家通讯社（AKP）报道，依据《联合国海洋法公约》附件五设立的调解委员会第二次会议于10月14日至18日在荷兰海牙和平宫举行，柬埔寨与泰国就两国海洋分歧继续磋商。常设仲裁法院担任会议书记处，会议由调解委员会主席 Katrina Cooper 主持。
柬方代表团由副总理兼外交与国际合作部大臣 Prak Sokhonn 率领，他同时担任柬埔寨代理人；国务秘书处边境事务负责人 Lam Chea 任副代理人，并有法律专家团队随行。泰方代表团由副总理兼外交部长 Sihasak Phuangketkeow 率领。调解委员会首次会议此前在新加坡举行，双方进行了建设性讨论。
Prak Sokhonn 在首次会议开幕致辞中表示，柬方的首要目标是达成有利于两国人民、有助于地区和平、合作与共同繁荣的解决方案：或在委员会协助下缔结条约，为两国划定单一、全面的海上边界；或在最终划界协议达成前，就联合开发与公平分享资源达成协议。如两者皆未达成，柬方将请委员会提出建议，作为未来谈判的基础。

Cambodia-Thailand Maritime Conciliation Commission Holds Second Meeting in The Hague
PHNOM PENH — The second meeting of the Conciliation Commission established under Annex V of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) between Cambodia and Thailand was held from October 14 to 18 at the Peace Palace in The Hague, the Netherlands, according to Cambodia's national news agency AKP. The Permanent Court of Arbitration serves as registry for the proceedings, and the meeting was chaired by commission president Katrina Cooper.
Cambodia's delegation was led by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Prak Sokhonn, who serves as Cambodia's agent, accompanied by deputy agent Lam Chea, minister in charge of the State Secretariat of Border Affairs, and a team of legal experts. Thailand's delegation was led by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Sihasak Phuangketkeow. The commission's first meeting was held earlier in Singapore.
In his opening statement at the first meeting, Prak Sokhonn said Cambodia's foremost objective is a solution that benefits the peoples of both countries and contributes to regional peace, cooperation and shared prosperity: either a treaty delimiting a single, all-purpose maritime boundary between the two countries, or an agreement on joint development and equitable sharing of resources pending a final boundary agreement. If neither is achieved, Cambodia would ask the commission to prepare recommendations that could serve as a basis for future negotiations.
