Troops at disputed temple not yet reduced

Sunday, August 17, 2008

(BangkokPost.com) - The number of Thai and Cambodian troops stationed near Preah Vihear temple has not been reduced despite an agreement to lower the number of military personnel to 10 personnel each.

However, the situation around the 11th century Hindu temple is not tense. Soldiers from both countries are closely monitoring the situation while avoiding confrontation.

Thai Foreign Minister Tej Bunnag and his Cambodian counterpart Hor Namhong are scheduled to meet on Monday and Tuesday in Hua Hin.
