-- 据多家媒体报道,泰国内阁周二正式终止了与柬埔寨签署的、旨在促进泰国湾能源联合勘探的25年前签署的第44号谅解备忘录(MOU 44)。 泰国总理阿努廷·查恩维拉库尔在国家安全委员会的建议下证实了这一决定,并表示这项2001年签署的协议在数十年的谈判停滞后未能取得任何成果。 此次单方面退出履行了一项重要的竞选承诺,标志着泰国从双边联合开发谈判转向国际法律框架,特别是《联合国海洋法公约》。 据报道,此举实际上冻结了面积达2.7万平方公里的重叠区域(该区域被认为蕴藏着丰富的天然气储量)的开发。 柬埔寨外交部长布拉索昆对此表示深切遗憾,并指出柬埔寨现在别无选择,只能根据《联合国海洋法公约》寻求强制调解。
