The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) would indefinitely suspend the plan for sister city exchange with Cambodia's Phnom Pen City, Bangkok Governor revealed Tuesday.

MR Sukhumbhand Paribatra insisted that this had nothing to do with the Thai government's conflict with Cambodia regarding the extradition or the overlapping Thai-Cambodian maritime boundary demarcation.

He said it was because he could not find time to travel to Cambodia yet and the contract for sister city exchanges was still in process of drafting.
