HUA HIN, Aug 19 (TNA) - Thai Foreign Minister Tej Bunnag and his Cambodian counterpart Hor Namhong on Tuesday agreed on full troop redeployment and to adopt a provisional arrangement over the disputed Preah Vihear temple pending the survey and demarcation of the area in question.
In a joint press conference after a full day of talks in this Thai resort town, Mr. Tej announced both parties have agreed on a full redeployment of troops in the area, among other measures.
Thailand and Cambodia agreed to convene a second meeting between the head of the Cambodian Temporary Coordinating Task Force and the head of the Thai Regional Border Committee (RBC) on August 29 in Cambodia to discuss the second phase of redeployment.
Both sides pulled out most of their soldiers on Saturday, leaving only 10 troops from each country at the compound of a pagoda near the temple.
They agreed to adopt a provisional arrangement pending the survey and demarcation work to be carried out by the Joint Boundary Commission (JBC), which is expected to be convened in October.
However, the Thai Foreign Minister reaffirmed the arrangement must comply with the Thai constitution.
In the afternoon, a group of 10 Buddhist Dharmayatra was staging a protest against the bilateral talks and Preah Vihear's listing as a World Heritage Site in front of the hotel where the ministerial meeting was in session. The group submitted a letter of protest to a foreign ministry official before leaving.
It is expected that the next round of the Foreign Ministers' Meeting will take place after the Joint Boundary Commission is convened in October.
Tensions at the ancient temple escalated after the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO)'s World Heritage Committee early last month named the temple as World Heritage site to Cambodia. The International Court of Justice in 1962 ruled that the temple belongs to Cambodia, but that the surrounding area remains in dispute between the two countries.

As long as it is bilateral talk, we Khmer always lose. Why do we have to negotiate with the thieve? Hun Sen never negotiate with the innocent Khmer people. He always suggested to those oppose him to build coffin and threatened their lives. He has a track records of not being so brave with Youn and Siam. This is very sad for the Khmer people.
It is no difference between the Past VN-Cam Border issue....and Siam-cam issue
It take time to make us boring and busy in daily hard works and we will forget it soon....
Later on 50% 50% and say Hurah we win-win(win yourownself)
I must admit that some Cambodian people are so stupid! This is getting ridiculous a how some stupid Cambodian people resort to reason that it is because of weak Cambodian government for the reason the Thaicong want to invade Cambodia and some even use the middle east conflict as an example of how the United Nations fail to play their role! The most famous reason is that Cambodian is tired of fighting the war even if the Thaicong or the Vietcong come to cut Cambodian people throat and burn down their house! So tell me what else I want to know!
It seems that Cambodia as a country is nobody business or interest and nobody want to help Cambodian people to protect their sovereignty in the face of the Thaicong naked aggression! If Cambodia is nobody interest why even bother sign the Paris Agreement involving the United Nations called UNTAC for! Why does United States have to build their embassy in Cambodia for? Why Cambodia has to join the ASEAN block for? Why...
So here are the logics!
Some stupid Cambodian people claimed that Cambodian government is so weak and the Cambodian government can never protect Cambodian sovereignty from the Thaicong naked aggression but why AH Khieu Kanharith claimed that Cambodia do have enough weapon to protect Cambodian sovereignty! Some stupid Cambodian people claimed that the United Nations can never help Cambodia because the United Nations can’t even help the Middle East conflict and the Middle East conflict is a religious conflict which supported by world super powers and there is no way the UN can help bring an end to the middle east conflict! What about the UN fail to stop US from invading Iraq? Well, the US is the world policeman and if Iraq decide to invade Kuwait and build mass weapon destruction to threaten the world peace and the US has an obligation as the world policeman to invade Iraq to restore the world peace and stability! Now does that mean the Thaicong can behave like the US by going around invading Cambodia? Of course not! The Thaicong isn’t world super power and the Thaicong is just shrimp among whale! Some stupid Cambodian people even claim that Cambodian people are so sickened tired of war and they just want peace but do Cambodian people really have peace over the years? Of course not! Well! Cambodian people had been getting use to the fucken war for long that they forget that they are living in a fucken war zone! To prove my point and just look at the living condition of dirt poor Cambodian people and it is not different from the Khmer Rouge and the Vietcong occupation because Cambodian people continue to live in fear! AH HUN XEN has been using his police thugs as his foot soldiers who are walking around with AK-47 and grenades and they do land grabbing, killing, and intimidating Cambodian people as if they were his enemy and AH HUN XEN even deport his own citizen such as Monk Tim Sakhorn without due process to please the Vietcong government!
The fact is too many stupid Cambodian have too much inferior complex and they see no value in themselves and they continue to play death and waiting for some unknown force to help them! Since the beginning the Khmer empire and if Cambodian people didn’t fight for the survival of Cambodia and Cambodia would have vanished long time ago! The fact that Cambodia continue to exist until today is because Cambodian people chose to fight the Thaicong and the Vietcong relentless aggression! Fear no more and if Cambodian people chose to fight to protect Cambodia and Cambodia will always continue to exist and Cambodian people will always continue to be prosper and multiply!

Yes, I agreed with 3:42 AM and 9:58 AM. We should fight Thai invader now to protect our territory.
I suggest the Khmer govt. now must choose a place to build a camp for our compatriots living oversea to join this war. Our oversea compatriots are so hungry for fight with Siamese invader.
Hurry up Mr. Hun Sen, we Khmer oversea are ready for war and waiting for your command... We were borned for fighting...
CHEY YO CHAM ROLEAY, KHMERE ROLOT...CHEY YO...!
