The Petroleum Institute of Thailand is pushing energy and foreign affairs authorities to engage in talks with Cambodia on joint petroleum production in the overlapping claims area (OCA), as there has been no progress on the issue since early this year.
After Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet visited Thailand in February, there have been no proposals for further talks, according to a source at Government House who requested anonymity.
Following the visit, Bangkok and Phnom Penh agreed to resume talks on the OCA, which have stalled since the issue was raised in 2001.
