PAST SUCCESSA meeting between Hor Namhong and then-Thai Foreign Minister Sompong Amornvivat in November last year saw a reduction in troop levels along both sides of the border. Since then, political instability in Thailand has hindered further negotiations.
Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya will lead a state visit beginning Monday to spearhead renewed negotiations over border dispute.
THAI Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya will lead an official delegation to Cambodia beginning Monday to promote bilateral border negotiations between the two nations' prime ministers, a press release from the Cambodian Foreign Ministry announced Thursday.
Kasit will meet King Norodom Sihamoni and leaders of the ruling Cambodian People's Party in advance of border discussions with Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Hor Namhong, the press release stated.
The foreign ministers are expected to address ongoing border conflicts ahead of future discussions between Prime Minister Hun Sen and his Thai counterpart Abhisit Vejjajiva in Thailand during the forthcoming Asean Summit, which runs from February 27 to March 1.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Koy Khuong told the Post Thursday that the Thai delegation's visit aimed to strengthen cooperation between the two countries, as well as to address border concerns and other issues of mutual concern.
Hun Sen said Tuesday during an address in Oddor Meanchey province that he would not address border issues during the Asean Summit, but added that bilateral negotiations with the Thai premier were forthcoming.
Opposition leader Sam Rainsy questioned whether discussions between the heads of state would produce any tangible results.
"Bilateral negotiations cannot resolve matters. Our country is smaller than neighbouring ones, so if we face a neighbour that is larger than us, it is impossible to solve the dispute," Sam Rainsy told the Post Thursday.
"Until the international community steps in to defend Cambodia, we must defend our territorial integrity," he added.
Heang Rithy, president of the Cambodian National Research Organisation, said bilateral negotiations could succeed only if Thailand initiates them and says the country has acted as an invader.
"If Cambodia asks to negotiate, this is not effective and will not end the conflict," he said.
"If Thailand confesses that it has made a mistake, then we can negotiate in accordance with international law and without the UN. But if Thailand continues to be obstinate, only the UN will be able to resolve the conflict," he said.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Koy Khuong said Cambodia will continue to pursue a bilateral solution to the conflict.
"What we have done before, we will continue to do. We will maintain our bilateral stance so that we can talk together. If this path does not work, we will seek a third-party solution," he said.

No more talk,talk are cheap,we have all the documents leave us Cambodian alone Preah Vihear are belong to us Khmer CAMBODIAN SIMPLE AND CLEARED.
Hallucinating! From black to white! The monster turns into little angel. A barbarian turns to be a man with some mankind, culture and education. Is it meant kasit want to buy his fault.
To reply late below state on terrorist affair, it seems kasit is not only seeking pardon for these two men accused of terrorists by hun sen gov but he seems want to seek royal pardon from hun as well
Incredible ….!
what is hun kvang reaction though, I may ask!
I am sicken tired of playing cat and mouse game with the fucken Siam! Just nuke the Siam and then call on the third-party to verify total destruction of Thailand!
If AH Kasit Piromya has no interest in ending the Cambodia-Thai border conflict and there is no need for him to come because it is waste of fucken time!
There is no need to come mother fucker if you want to destroy the peace and the stability in South East Asia!
Kasit's last name sounds like a very Khmer name. Piromya or Piroum in Cambodian is a Pali/Sangskrit word meaning peaceful or pleasant to hear or to be with, like the Cambodian military band named Yothea Phiroum. I hope his intention in dealing with Cambodia is as peaceful as his name sounds.

During war with Siamese, Khmer hesitate to kill Siamese considering Siamese as brothers or sisters yet these people come as assassins. during many wars, Khmer hesitate to kill those who named as Khmer, speak as Khmer, dress as Khmer, called themselves as Khmer like the Khmer rouge, Khmer isarak yet these people come as criminals, as assassins of Khmer. Many criminals have use this label to commit crimes against Khmer, first are yuons and Siamese.
How many Khmer left actually beside the bunch and race of criminals called themselves as Khmer?!!
I think there are too many dark-skinned Khmer leaders. The ethnic Khmer only like to fight. They don't know how reason and negotiate. They're not intelligent like light-skinned Khmers who are mixed with Chinese.

4:12AM. It is a sad day that you are trying to impose censorship on this website. We are not tied nor bound by your arbitrary "law". We are free to say as is when unjustices are abound in our old country Cambodia. You are not going to shut down the internet nor taking Cisco to court. The true fact is that you can't do it. My suggestion is that you clean up your dirty ass first before you try to clean someone's else comments which are legitimate and benign as compared to yours in Cambodia.
5:27 since long time those who ruled over Cambodia life specially during among khmer rouge leaders are rather chin yuons than Khmer. the chin and specially the yuons think they are smart because they have white skin but in Cambodia, yuon domination bring killing, hated, misery, violence of all kind as we seen through time and space under yuon domination. Simple yuons glory!
yet the yuons think, they are smart ass, beautiful, intelligent because they have white skin and those who have dark skin are stupid, dumbt and wild. Though yuons always committed crimes, hated and violence against people of dark skin, generally native people. Those are the yuon thinking, the yuon political reality, the yuon supper intelligence.
What I can tell the yuons is, people with dark skin dont ask or claim to be smart, intelligent or beautiful. They just ask the yuons and its kind to stop commit crimes and discrimination against them for their skin colors.
My ancestors have dark skin. I have dark skin and I'm proud to have dark skin than the fuke yuon white skin but it dosn't matter for my ancestors to built wonderful Empire, a wonderful civilisation, a place in the world where people of all race and skin colors can profit and enjoy life before it is being turn into a chaotic miserable place, a hell, a muck atrocious killing field under yuon domination with its barbaric and skin crime and ideology against other people!
Each time the fuke yuon open its mouth to speak, it is about to vomit its hated, its discrimination and its race crime against other specially people with dark skin of different skin of it. It is the real nature of yuon race
People loves dark skinned leader, just look at Obama in the US. It revolutionizes the US history.
Ah potato diggers don't know what they are talking about. They just want to live in the old, backward, upside-down, and dark era.
it is not about dark skin or white skin, it is people capacity and attitude that should advance but the yuons advance their white skin color, judge and discriminated people by skin color, lead their policy and commit crimes in the name of their race and skin color
kantop race will eat its own shit soon
kantop race sew crimes,animosities, hates, discriminations, kantop race committed so much crimes against other these crimes will fall right on their heads and those of theirs soon and everlasting,
Smears of those who yuons committed crimes against
Cambodian people don't have dark skin and there many shades to skin color! It may be brown or dark brown and light skin color but majority of Cambodian people are light skin people!
If I were to look at Hun Sen on TV and I would say that he has dark skin in comparison to other officials! Those people who work on the farm most of their life would have darker skin then other because of the tropical high heat from the sun and the rain, the dust, the mud, the dirty water…
Real Khmer or former Khmer (at least majority of them 99%) have brown skin or dark skin (according to yuons) with big clear brown or dark eyes. They become small minority in actual Cambodia. Only Khmers of chin yuon descends have light skin light sihanouk, polpot, ieng sary, hun sen, sok an ect. There exist a kind of chin and yuons with brown or dark skin but different traits from Khmer. Majority of yuons are light or white skin, short with short legs and hands and bride eyes. Long ego, those who hold political, economical and social positions in Cambodia are of chin yuons descends whose many still considered themselves as yuons and worked for the interest of yuons specially among khmer rouge leaders past and present. These numbers of yuons who hold high position in Cambodia become much important, even much more than period of Chey chetha 2 and French colonization, after Khmer rouge empty half of Khmer people to be replaced by yuons.
In Cambodia and historically, it is yuon era or yuon glory since ho chi minh and yuons leaders overcome their expansionist and genocidal in Cambodia as in Indochina operated through Khmer rouge and communism.
I am a light skin Khmer and where do I fit in?
Who give a fuck about the Viet think of Khmer people because it is all fucken negative anyway!
Khmer will be Khmer to the end!
Bullshit, just look at Ah potato diggers oversea. They ain't no Khmer.
