The government's engagement with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (Unclos) is intended solely to clarify maritime boundaries with Cambodia, it underlined on Sunday.
Addressing public concerns over Thailand's entry into the process and possible sharing of resources as a result, government spokeswoman Rachada Dhnadirek said the process does not involve negotiations on joint development or resource-sharing projects.
She said Foreign Affairs Minister Sihasak Phuangketkeow had clarified Thailand's stance to both the public and during a recent meeting with diplomats from more than 70 countries about the process after Cambodia decided to use the compulsory conciliation mechanism.
