Cambodian officials said that the Khmer-Thai Joint Boundary Commission plans to meet for border talks in January next year.
Government officials said that the Khmer-Thai Joint Boundary Commission plans to meet in January after the border talks between the two countries have stalled due to the political crisis and the change of government in Thailand.
Chairman of the Cambodian Border Commission, Mr. Var Kim Hong, said on 25th December that he had received news from the Thai Foreign Ministry through the Thai embassy that all the documents agreed with Cambodia recently will be put to the Thai parliament for approval which will be convened at the end of January next year.
Mr. Var Kim Hong said that the next Khmer-Thai border talks will be held in Thailand but added that there is no timetable yet because they have to wait for the Thai parliament to approve the previous documents first.
Mr. Var Kim Hong said: “The meeting for talks on land boundary issues will be held in Thailand but there is no timetable for the actual planting of the border pillars have been decided yet.”
Mr. Var Kim Hong said he doesn’t know what the results of the talks will be because he doesn’t know about the stance of the new Thai government regarding the issues. But he added that currently, Thailand has a real government which he hopes this new government will continue to work with Cambodia on resolving the border issues.
Recently, the newly-elected prime minister of Thailand, Mr. Abhisit Vejjajiva, said that his government will work hard to resolve the border issues with Cambodia.
Mr. Hor Namhong, foreign minister of Cambodia, has said that during the third border talks in Siem Reap on 12th November, 2008, he had requested for the withdrawals of all Thai troops from Wat Keo Sekhakirisvarak pagoda and the areas surrounding the Preah Vihear temple.
Mr. Hor Namhong said: “Cambodia had requested Thailand to withdraw all their troops from Wat Keo Sekhakirisvarak, from the areas around the pagoda and from the vicinity of the pagoda. It means that they have to withdraw much further then their present positions. Regarding the troops withdrawal, we told them that after the Thai parliament approved the agreements we all will start the withdrawals."
There are reports that, in Tatum and Anlong Veng areas in Banteay Meanchey province, Cambodian troops are on high alert because Thai troops are staging military drills in the areas.

saen khpeum mok pouk ah chin yuon thork thiab os nis. rob kor akrok jet kor pel prei, chakkrek kor thork thiab
it is an error of nature bringing life to these monkies and criminals to heavy up the world with its ugliness and criminal attittude
It is going to be very interesting talk. I think this time PAD leaders would come by TANKS or JETS or bribes or girls. The last two are the weak points for Khmer leaders.
According to some sources,
Thailand is in deep trouble with internal affairs and looking to politicize anything to seek the world attention. Preah Vihear is something the THAI can prey on Cambodia for now...
Viet puppet Hun Sen, on the other hand has been instructed also to politicize the matter to divert and distract the world's attention from the Vietnamization of Cambodia and the final push for the completion of the federation of Indochina.
The Preah Vihear case has been closed for decades by the Hague. There is no way that Thailand can reverse that. The Viet experts and lobbyists all know full well and ready to go to court to help secure the future of the Federation in cooperation with and/or on behalf of Cambodia.
Either way Cambodia under Viet puppet HUN SEN stands to lose on this again: there is nothing to win on the case whereby Thailand has already lost decades ago. What Cambodia lost is her being gotten closer and closer to her demise while contributing in her entirety to the birth of the Viet Feferation of Indochina.
It's so sad...This is Viet-Cambodia under HUN SEN and Sihanouk families!!!
Phra Viharn belongs to Khmer on the mountain. People in the flat land must stay out of it.
Re: ...when it comes to matters concerning life and death, Khmers must choose between China and Vietnam. I suggest China. I thank you. Yuon patriot, Ph.D. from Hanoi ...
This con-artist Ph.D from Hanoi working for Youn is testing the water...here on KI-Media.
Go home Ph.D from Hanoi, go back to Hanoi where all of your Viet/Yuon "Lam Tuy (sp?)" are treating you just like a king as per your life painting story....Damn fake worthless Ph.D!
I still believe that Thailand is playing games with Cambodia on border issues. I reckon that the Thai parliament will reject the agreements reached in Siem Reap which required Thailand to withdraw troops. I remember Thailand goes to the negotiating tables just to play along but never have intention to talk seriously because it has nothing to lose if the talks failed. If the talks failed they still control the Cambodian territories they have occupied. So UN and ICJ is the preferred option.
Dear Khmerization,
តើលោក យល់យ៉ាងដូចម្ដេចដែរ អំពី ភាសារសរសេរជាខ្មែរររបស់ កាសែត(សាព៌តមាន) ឬក៏ RFA បាទ?
ខ្ញំមានការលំបាកយល់បន្តិច។
សូមអរគុណ៕

Agree, 6:16.
"Wag the Dog" is an interesting American movie for everyone affected by politics to watch, especially for the face-turned-down and mentally-dark-wild Siamese 4:12AM.
Raja
The picture seem nice and real. Unless ,it was months or years ago.
