(6) Distinguish between economic interests and maritime border negotiations<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n[\u2026] The petrochemical industry [\u2026] creates jobs in the fields related to oil exploration [\u2026] long-term energy security ensures the flow of economic development in all sectors [\u2026] would the efforts to withdraw benefit for the nation and the people and ensure the long-term energy security be a betrayal (to the country)? [\u2026] please distinguish between economic interests and maritime border negotiations, which we will continue to work on it with the technical team [\u2026] solving the (border) issue is to end (misunderstanding) and ensure that our children and the children of the neighboring countries do not look at each other unfairly, in a quarrel way, and conflict. Would doing this be a treason? Not at all. It is a long-term solution to national problems [\u2026] so, together we remove the setbacks and jointly take advantage of the OCA (Overlapping Claims Area) [\u2026]<\/p>\n
(7) Consulate General in Songkhla; work permit visa and renewal fees and stickers, mobile NSSF transfer<\/strong><\/p>\nIn the two meetings with the Thai Prime Minister, we discussed a number of issues with the Royal Government of Thailand.\u00a0First, Cambodia decided to set up a consulate general in Songkhla, the Thai side agreed.<\/em>\u00a0We have set the location and plan to open soon [\u2026] to facilitate support services for our citizens working in southern Thailand [\u2026]; regarding the work permit visas, we have agreed to bring the cost down from 2,000 baht to 500 baht, and we will apply it from November.\u00a0The Thai side has also agreed to reduce the renewal fee from 1,900 baht to 500 baht, as negotiated\u00a0<\/em>[\u2026] we also have more in discussion.\u00a0We request the transfer of mobile social security system between the two countries.<\/em>\u00a0What does that mean? [\u2026] where there is NSSF (national social security fund), when our workers go to work in Thailand, they can transfer their NSSF to the working place (to continue it) [\u2026] the same applies to Thais who work in Cambodia [\u2026]\u00a0we have asked the Thai side to provide stickers of work permit visas on travel documents to workers at the time of immigration [\u2026] rather than having to come for it at the (Thai) embassy (in Phnom Penh)<\/em>\u00a0[\u2026]<\/p>\n(8) To consider organizing the Cambodian and Thai Sankranta<\/strong><\/p>\nI asked (the Thai Prime Ministere) His Excellency Setha Thavisin as the New Year\/Sangkranta is approaching, if we can celebrate the New Year or Sangkranta (of the two countries together). There have been some confusions regarding the fact that Thai asked for the accession of Sankranta as one of the world heritages. Thailand does not take away what belong to the Cambodians. Countries holding on with Buddhism are celebrating Sangkranta. (Thailand) works on entitling the Thai Sangkranta. They have not asked to list the Cambodian (Sangkanta). We have our own Sangkranta. The Ministry of Culture and Fione Arts has the other day considered seeking the placement of the Cambodian Sankranta as one of the world heritages [\u2026] do not cause strife between the two nations over confusions [\u2026] and I think the Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts should organize a Khmer national identity to showcase what (belongs or identifies Khmer) for children of the next generation to understand clearly so as not to be confused as to what (belongs to Khmer, and\/or Thai) [\u2026]<\/p>\n
(9) Request the Thai Prime Minister to forgo the reentry visa fee for the month of April<\/strong><\/p>\n[\u2026] let me get back to the Sangkranta issue [\u2026] I talked to the Thai Prime Minister, \u201cas we are close to the New Year, maybe you and join me in giving our people on both sides the gift that they do not have to pay the (re-entry) visa fee. The Cambodian people who come to visit on New Year shall not have to pay the re-entry visas fees\u201d [\u2026] the Thai Prime Minister says that (issue) would be fine to celebrate together [\u2026] this New Year, (the Minister of Labor and Vocational Training) His Excellency Heng Sour, should organize (the Khmer New Year) in some countries, such as in Korea, and join with our people to enjoy the festivity. Our embassies in every country that does not have workers could gather our students for this reason as a get together once in a long while [\u2026]<\/p>\n
(10) 10 hours of achieving strategic achievements for the benefit of the nation and the people<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0[\u2026] (I spent) 10 hours (in Thailand), but achieved strategic achievements, as well as a lot of initiatives for both countries [\u2026] some people asked if I was not tired at all to have a full-day schedule like that. For me, I wanted to fly home as soon as I could (finish the wrok that I go for) [\u2026] I wish to spend all the time available (finishing the works) rather than sitting and watching TV in the hotel [\u2026] to fulfill my every duty as the head of government and for the benefit of the nation and the people [\u2026].\/.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"[The prepared text] The Ministry of Labor and Vocational Training must strive to successfully implement the reform measures introduced by the Royal Government<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":90652,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"video","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[38,22,33],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-90654","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-video","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-slide-show-english","8":"category-speech","9":"category-video","10":"post_format-post-format-video"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressocm.gov.kh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90654","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressocm.gov.kh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressocm.gov.kh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressocm.gov.kh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressocm.gov.kh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=90654"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/pressocm.gov.kh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90654\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":90656,"href":"https:\/\/pressocm.gov.kh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90654\/revisions\/90656"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressocm.gov.kh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/90652"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressocm.gov.kh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=90654"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressocm.gov.kh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=90654"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressocm.gov.kh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=90654"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
