Thailand, Cambodia to draw border [... only near Preah Vihear temple]

August 20, 2008
ABC Radio Australia

Foreign ministers from Cambodia and Thailand have agreed to intensify efforts to mark the border around a disputed temple.

At the weekend, up to 1,000 Cambodian and Thai troops pulled back from confronting each other on a small patch of disputed land near Cambodia's 11th-century Preah Vihear temple.

Twenty troops from both sides are stationed at a small pagoda in the contentious border area, while 40 Cambodian and Thai solders remain nearby.

After a day of talks the ministers announced a border committee will meet in October to draw a boundary around the temple.

Military officials will meet later this month to discuss a further pullback of troops.

The two countries say they will solve the problem peacefully, in friendship and under the law.

Cambodian ministers are falling into the trick of Thai. The Thais are trying to delay the date of meeting as long as possible because they think that Canbodian people investigate the dispute only in a very short while. The Thai also know very clearly that Power, Money and Treasure could change Cambodian Ministers' mind and loyalty!

The Thaicong aggressor is an archenemy of Cambodian people and Cambodian leaders have an obligation to help those countries who are in border conflict with the Thaicong aggressor in any future border dispute!

Dear Mr. Editor and all,
It is my favourite to read your blog on daily basis. I would like to make a suggestion to editor to creat a cartoon of Preah Vihear picture with short wording saying that: Dog is allowed to enter (visit)- Thai is not allowed.
I hope you will consider this simple thing.

Thanks,
Bayon
