Cambodia's Ministry of Defence has demanded an apology from Thai media outlets for reports linking Defence Minister Tea Banh to a recent case of alleged cross-border arms smuggling by a Thai air force officer, one which has also ensnared an official from Cambodia’s Interior Ministry who remains detained in Thailand.

 

In a letter sent to the Thai Embassy’s Defence Attaché Office on Tuesday, the Defence Ministry’s Department of International Relations requested “cooperation” in getting the outlets to retract and apologise for articles published in Thai-language media linking Banh to an ordnance-packed vehicle seized in a bust on Saturday in Thailand’s Trat province, near the border with Cambodia.

 

Reached yesterday afternoon, Banh scolded the outlets who ran the story as lacking “professionalism”, but said his ministry would investigate the source of the weapons, which Thai authorities earlier in the week said were smuggled from Cambodia and destined for Myanmar.
