text: Singapore and Air Chief Marshal Siddhi Savetsila of Thailand. 7. The first two meetings of the Ad Hoe Committee in 1985 were essentially devoted to a consideration of the situation along the Thai-Kampuchean border. The Committee issued two statements, on 17 January and 15 Februar y, respectively, expressing its serious concern at the escalation of hostilities along the border. It strongly deplored the military attacks by foreign forces against Kampuchean encampments in the border area, as well as their incursions into Thailand. I.t stressed that those attacks had endangered the lives of a large number of innocent Kampuchean civilians, forcing them to seek refuge inside Thailand. The Committee called for an immediate end to such attacks, pointing out that they served only to impede the search for a negotiated settlement of the Kampuchean problem. The Committee reiterat ed its conviction that the problem could be solved onl y through peaceful means in accordance with the Declaration y adopted by the Internationa l Conference on Kam puchea and the relevant General Assembl y resolutions. It also appealed to all parties concerned to join in the efforts to create an atmosphere conducive to constructive dialogue and ne gotiations. 8. At its 21st meeting, on 15 Februar y, the Ad Hoe Committee a pproved a suggestion that the Chairman and Rapporteur should hold consultat ions on the Kampuchean question with the Governments of China and Thailand, during their visits to those countries in connection with other United Nations activities. Subsequentl y, after further consultations with a number of Governments, the Ad Hoe Committee decided, in pursuit of the mandate entrusted to it b y Conference resolution 1 (I), to undertake two missions during the current year. A.Consultation s at Bei jing and Bangkok
analysis: The text appears to be discussing a conflict between Thailand, Kampuchea (now known as Cambodia), and possibly China, which is likely related to international relations, diplomacy, and humanitarian concerns. The Ad Hoe Committee is focusing on finding a peaceful solution to the conflict, which suggests that the issue is not strictly economic or environmental.
