"We stopped Thai troops from entering any further into our territory. The Thai troops are not invaders. They had a misunderstanding about the map. They used their own map and we used our map too that we had the treaty with each other in 1907" - Khieu KanharithPHNOM PENH, July 16 (Xinhua) -- The Cambodian and Thai governments will have a top meeting to solve the matter of nearly 200 Thai troops stationed inside a Cambodian pagoda 200 meters away from the Preah Vihear Temple, a Cambodian official said here on Wednesday.
The border committees of both countries will have a top meeting as soon as possible to solve the problem of Thai troops who went into a pagoda on Cambodian territory without moving back, Khieu Kanharith, Cambodian Minister of Information and government spokesman, told reporters in a press conference.
The Thai side will choose the place to discuss the issue, he added.
"We wanted to have the stable situation like before July 15. The Thai troops ...have to return to their places," he said.
Three Thai protesters were arrested Tuesday for jumping an immigration checkpoint to reach the temple. Thai troops then came to fetch them, thus triggering the face off.
Cambodian soldiers arrested the three and later freed them all after they signed some documents, Khieu Kanharith said, adding that while both sides were waiting to discuss, those Thai troops equipped with light weapons and military bags were deployed into the pagoda without returning back.
Meanwhile, about 380 Cambodian troops were living and staying around the same pagoda named Wat Preah Sat and slept inside the pagoda together with Thai troops, he said.
The Thai troops on Wednesday morning also offered food to Cambodian monks at the pagoda, he added.
"I am optimistic that we could solve the matter soon," he said, adding that Cambodia and Thailand do not have a military stand-off but it is just a misunderstanding.
"We stopped Thai troops from entering any further into our territory. The Thai troops are not invaders. They had a misunderstanding about the map. They used their own map and we used our map too that we had the treaty with each other in 1907," he said.
They claimed that the pagoda they stayed is in the disputed area while Cambodia considers the pagoda as on its territory, he said.
"We do not have serious situation with the Thai side," he said, adding that Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen has ordered all troops and governors of provinces bordering with Thailand to continue to have normal relationship and cooperation with Thai side.
The Preah Vihear temple straddles the Thai-Cambodian border atop the Dangrek Mountain and was listed as a World Heritage Site on July 7 by UNESCO's World Heritage Committee.
On June 15, 1962, the International Court of Justice decided to award the ancient Angkorian site at the Cambodian-Thai border to Cambodia over the protest of Thailand.

Khieu Kanharith
who the hell are you to tell that thai troops have to return to their places.
your map, made by france, is only originated in 1907 while ours was dated back before 1907 and supported by other international documents/notes and papers.
so Khieu Kanharith, you should shut the f*ck up and apologize to thai people for holding thais as hostages and fooling your own khmers people that thai troops act is an invasion, for the past few days.
also, Cambodia government has to repay for all costs that occurred during the burning of Royal Thai Embassy in 2003. you khmers are so low, never responsible.
And why do you need it to be settled before July 15? Because you sicked Cambodia politicians want to save faces before the election.
What a stupid nation you are, Khmers!
10:54,
you're borned from us... learn your own true history
A mort les chiens thailandais!!!
"The Thai troops could leave the Cambodian territory only after they signed documents to admit their incursion," local newspapers Wednesday quoted him (Khieu Kanharith)as saying.
=The Thaicong army is weak because they try to use the Thaicong protesters as human shield! Why would the fucken Thaicong army want to go to war by hiding among the Thaicong protesters? Why?
The fucken Thaicong army is cheaper than a terrorist by hiding themselves among the unarmed Thaicong civilians and hoping that Cambodian soldiers would shoot the unarmed Thaicong civilians so that the Thaicong army can claim their righteousness!
Fuck all you Thaicong mother fucker and you are cheaper than a terrorist for putting your unarmed civilian in harm way! And it is no wonder the Muslim militants in Southern Thailame will target any Thaicong civilians because this is how the Thaicong army behaves by hiding among their population!
There is no such thing as overlapping area according to the world map of 1904 and 1907 ruled by the world court! I suggest the fucken Thaicong army get the hell out along with their sorry arse Thaicong unarmed civilians who are being use as human shield!
Fear no Thaicong!
It only proves to show what cowards they are!
Well said my countryman:
Burn everything thai! everywhere in the world. And feed the remains to the dogs .
Dog they were born and dog they will die!
you fool khmers
-the 3 thai protesters was captured by your khmer soldiers first.
-then, thai soldiers asked your soldiers to release them but your stupid khmer soldiers didn't.
-then, thai soldiers added the troops in the area, the overlapping one that you khmers in this blog said never exist but your information minister knows that it exists.
-now, khmer soldiers hold 3 thai protesters as their hostages because thailand keeps adding the troops into the overlapping area.
you fool khmers don't distort the story!

*and the khmer guy also said later that thai soldiers didn't cross the khmer land.
go back and read all the news in this site by yourself and you'll see how quackish your minister is.
then you can apologize me later son!
1907 map is no good here. It is only applicable when the French rules Cambodia, but that is no longer the case. Otherwise, we should also use Japanese made map.
cambodia, please always use the 1907 treaty map and uphold the icj verdict. after the smoke is settled, cambodia will prevail when it comes down to the international laws! thailand is illegal for unilaterally redrawing the 1907 treaty map and even after the icj ruled. icj will tell them that they are contempt of court and the international laws. thailand tend to think that their gov't can sign something today and disrespect it tomorrow. the world can see this typical pattern of theirs. god bless cambodia
No, this is Indochina and we don't accept any foreigner's treaty here.
I got bad news for you Siam ICJ has authority over the world including Siamland.
While you Siam boldly talk continuous non sense, your politicians are shitting in their pants because the world is watching your cunning game and they don't like it.
You fool thais never get to know your true shit history cos your fucking king has manipulated everthing. Hey, why dont you just let your fucking SIAM king run your damn country rather than waisting $$ on holding elections. Cos he always breaks into piece every government that dont listen to his greedy advice anyway.
Listen all khmer mates, all these happen cos AH FUCKING SIAM KING. I hope he will disapear from this world soon so that we can live in peace. KHMER UNITE...SIAM VANISH.
