PHNOM PENH, Cambodia, July 29 (Xinhua) -- There will be no immediate military withdrawal at the disputed Cambodian-Thai border area, although both sides considered evacuation during their foreign ministers' talks Monday in Siem Reap, said a Cambodian official here Tuesday.
"We will mull setting up special commission for further discussion," said the official on condition of anonymity.
"The discussion will be held in three steps, first demining work, second demarcation and finally withdrawal," he said.
"It will need more time," he said.
During Monday's meeting, both sides only agreed to consider withdrawing troops from the pagoda near the Preah Vihear Temple and areas around it to avoid military tension, which was called as a victory step.
Thai foreign minister said that he will report it to his government for final decision and the Cambodian side said that the two countries will open a new meeting later.
Talks between Thailand's armed forces chief General Boonsrang Niumpradit and Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Tea Banh ended a week ago without resolution. ASEAN intervention also failed the next day.
At least 1,000 soldiers have deployed since July 15 in manifestation of either sides' claim of the 4.6 square km land at the border area.
The International Court of Justice ruled in 1962 that the temple belongs to Cambodia, but surrounding land remains in dispute.

Stop expressing your nonsense opinion here, mohterfucker. I dont think Cambodia should use fucking military option to against Thai.
And to the Thai people if you think the milatary choice is the best way to invade Cambodia, it like walking to the death sentence, those mother fucker Khmer Roug are waiting for your gay armies, and they are fighting with proud to protect their homeland
"The problem comes from the same root, which is mapping based on unequal treatment by powerful countries in the past," he said (Thai Vice-Admiral Pratheep).
= There is no one on this planet Earth who has more irrational thinking and illogical reasoning than the Thai leaders! These Thai leaders like to twist Cambodian history to fit their need and their ego to show the world of how powerful and influential the Thai politic on Cambodia!
Now! I want to know. What is so unequal treatment about the Thai who doesn't want to be colonized by the European Powers? If the Thai were willing to submit to colonialism and maybe the Thai can get special treatment from the British or the French! But the problem is the Thai was never wanted to be colonized and now they complain about unequal treatments which help save them from colonialism!
So who can blame Cambodia for wanting to be French Protectorate which helps save Cambodia from Thai and Vietnamese aggression! For Cambodia being a French Protectorate, Cambodian people were never treated anything special more than the Vietnamese! Because the French allowed the Vietnamese to work as Cambodian government officials at every level in Cambodian government while Cambodian people were looking down by the French as being lazy, uneducated, and not hard working! So is this how the Thai people want to be treated under the French colonial master? Of course not! So what is the point for the Thai to complain about unequal treatment under the French?
Now that the Thai leaders are in the spot light on the issue of violation of Cambodian territory, The French map of Cambodia which recognized by International Community and United Nations will be used to verify every square inch of Cambodian territory on Thai side and the Vietnamese side to see if they both had violated Cambodian territory in anyway shape or form! Cambodian leaders can’t afford to have endless ongoing bilateral talk between the Thai and the Viet to solve Cambodian border conflict because bilateral talk is nothing more than a whisper which nobody can hear or understand including International Community or the United Nations!
I believe International Community and United Nations have a role to play in helping Cambodia in verifying the French International Map to end the Thai-Viet-Cambodian conflict! Otherwise the Thai and the Viet will insist on using their own map to violate Cambodian territory forever! At the end, I believe there won’t be peace and stability in the mainland Southeast Asia!
Now you know why even the Vietnamese government blocked Cambodian leaders from seeking the help from United Nations to solve the Thai-Cambodia conflict because the Vietnamese government is also in violation of Cambodian territory too!
I do not want that people/publics Call "My Samdach Decho as A frog in the nmarrow well.."
Samdach should use all force physically, mentally morally diplomatically, politically and militarilly to protect our territory as You have had effort to protect your Power for some decades... Please Samdach.....
Do like you have done so far with Innocent Khmer People e.g in land Grabling....and with all political Parties to hand Power Gaining...."
Samdach I frankly ask you ARE YOU AFRIAD OF THAIS THIEVES???"
If so tell us franmkly we will unit our human resources worldwide to help solving this problem.. Come on .."
History will note your name forever......
