"Article Extracted" from the 25 October issue of the pro-government Cambodian daily newspaper Rasmei Kampuchea posted on the Everyday.com.kh portal: "Hun Sen, Somchai Fail To Discuss Troop Withdrawal, But Agree to Avert Clashes"
The Cambodian and Thai prime ministers have agreed to prevent repeat of clashes between the two countries' troops, following the 15 October shootout, which has caused the deaths of three Cambodian and 16 Thai soldiers.
Samdech Hun Sen, prime minister of the Royal Government of Cambodia [RGC], and his Thai counterpart, Somchai Wongsawat, held face-to-face talks for the first time on the sidelines of the Asia-Europe summit in Beijing on 24 October.
Following the two prime ministers' talks, Hor Namhong, Cambodian deputy prime minister and foreign minister, told reporters that on 24 October, the two leaders concurred to prevent armed conflicts from taking place along the two countries' shared border.
As for Thai Foreign Minister Sampong Amornvivat, he told reporters in Beijing that the "two sides should instruct our troops to stop confronting each other."
The two countries' foreign ministers, standing side by side, considered that Prime Minister Hun Sen and his Thai counterpart held the talks in an atmosphere of cordiality and friendship.
Hor Namhong was quoted by foreign news agencies as saying, "We are moving forward on a good path. Not only has the meeting solved the border problem between the two countries, but it is also on the good path to further enhancing our cooperation and good neighborliness.
"As in Cambodia, the 11th meeting the Cambodian-Thai Regional Border Committee in Siem Reap Province was regarded as achieving good success with the two sides agreeing to exhibit utmost patience to avert armed clashes.
Following two days of talks between the border committee of Cambodia's Fourth and Thailand's Second Military Region, Maj. Gen. Chea Morn, commander of the Cambodian Fourth Military Region, told reporters that regarding solution to the problem concerning the area of Preah Vihear Temple, the two sides had agreed and been determined to exhibit the greatest patience with the aim of averting military standoff or clashes that had happened recently. The two sides had also concurred to continue dialogue to solve this problem through peaceful means to gradually ease tension and move toward the status quo.
Chea Morn also said that the two sides had shared the same view that cooperation should be effected on an equal footing and that they should respect each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity, exchange information, preserve border environment, prevent and suppress various offenses, and develop border economy by the two military regions in order to allow the people to enjoy decent living conditions.
As for Lt. Gen. Wiboonsak Neeparn, commander of the Thai Second Military Region, he made similar remarks on the outcomes of the Siem Reap meeting, which was held under strict security, with scores of civilian and military police forces being deployed at the meeting avenue. He said the meeting had yielded significant results in the process of jointly solving problems through peaceful means.
In a separate press release, the Thai delegation asked that Cambodia understand requirement and legal procedures stipulated in the Thai Constitution of 2007, which demands that the Thai Council of Ministers submit the framework of talks on the provisional arrangement concerning the issue of Preah Vihear Temple and on the process of measuring the Cambodian-Thai boundary line and planting border markers to the National Assembly for approval before Thailand begins the talks.
The press release added that the Cambodian side acknowledged the steps that its Thai counterpart should follow. The Thai National Assembly will consider the framework on 28 October. Therefore, it is hoped that talks would take place soon.
According to the press release, further talks are impossible unless there is approval from the Thai National Assembly.
Although the Cambodian and Thai leaders and the two countries' military commanders have made known their willingness to prevent further armed clashes, the talks in Siem Reap Province did not deal with the question regarding troop pullout from disputed areas.
Aside from the Preah Vihear Temple issue, the eight-page document signed by Chea Morn and his Thai counterpart also acclaims the cooperation in peacefully solving, easing, and returning the situation in the areas of Ta Moan and Ta Krabei Temples to normal, with the two sides agreeing to reduce confrontation in the border areas under their responsibility so as to enhance security, stability, safety, and order in the interest of the people living along the two countries' shared border.
The document signed by the two sides also indicates that they decided to uphold cooperation in many other domains. They include bilateral cooperation in land border; illegal border crossing by workers; protection of the Cambodian and Thai peoples' rights; illicit drug problems; suppression of goods smuggling, cross-border crimes, and trafficking in children and women; assistance offered to victims of deception; cross-border trade; cooperation in maintaining and protecting border environment, as well as the health, social, educational, tourism, and agricultural sectors.

Cambodia has no base to own anything on that mountain. No one can live on the edge of the mountain. Everything belongs to Khmer in Thailand, and Cambodia has no business being up there.
Thai took Khmer land, and kidnapped our people, there will be a time we will be United with our Khmer Brothers and Sisters who live in Thailand, and create a proude Khmer Kingdom.

When Thai invaded Khmer on July
15th, that is the down fall of Thai as a country. And Khmer would not shed a drop of tear for it.
Parachai Thai! Cheyo Khmer!
Thai did not invade any Khmer in Thailand. It is the monkeys from Cambodia who invaded Khmer in Thailand.
Someone keep calling Cambodia monkey? What are you? Educated Thai?
Well, I am certainly not a desperate, greedy, ignorant, and immoral monkey like you who is stood low and paint everyone as foreigners (like Thai, Viet, or Lao) so that you can steal their valuables from them.
I hate the bird that has two heads,if I catch it I chop one for dog food.
Chhun kleat ai nok mee sorng hua,tar jub dai moeu rai jak tut hua mun bai ning hai pen aharn sonuk .
5:28am ai nhar hee
5:28am Thai called you low life or slave ,why you try to make some thing out of nothing,no one recognize you in the world and Thai Land,what are talking about ?Talk to my hands here.
Hey the Viet also called you a low life, but so what? Do you think name calling will altered your DNA and Gene accordingly?
the treaty 1907 map is what cambodia will always stick by, not the latter unilateral maps that the thai themselves made up in violation of the international and lawful treaty with cambodia!
