PHNOM PENH, July 30 (Xinhua) -- Cambodia and Thailand will have a meeting of multi-committee in Bangkok to push the measurement for border demarcation, a senior official said on Thursday.
"I will go to Thailand for the meeting of multi-committee on August 3 and 4," Hor Namhong, deputy prime minister and minister of foreign affairs and international cooperation told reporters after the signing ceremony of receiving over 33 million U.S. dollars grant aid from Japanese government at his ministry.
"I will require Thai side to continue discussion on the border issues and the Border Committee from both countries will meet soon to discuss on the measurement of the border to plant border posts," he added.
"The situation at areas near Preah Vihear temple is calm now, and Thai troops are deployed on there soil," Hor Namhong said. "There are no tension at the border, not like the media reported," he stressed.
At the same time, Hor also thanked Thai government cabinet for its approving on Tuesday to provide 41.2 million U.S. dollars for road improvement projects in Cambodia. The fund will be used to build Road 68 near border with Thailand, which will help facilitate the trade and tourism between the two countries, he noted.
Moreover, Cambodia and Thailand will open more border gates to push and facilitate the trade and tourism, he said.
Cambodia and Thailand share over 800 km-long borders. The troops from both sides have some confrontation since July 15, 2008, mainly near 11th century Preah Vihear temple.

I see no reason why we have to travel to negotiate with illegitimate thai,do so thai will have more time to play game with Cambodia.
There is only one question that Khmer side has to ask Thai.
DO YOU RECOGNIZE THE MAP DRAWN BY FRANCO-SIAMESE COMMITTEE IN 1908???
If Thai say No, please stop talking with, and then prepare documents to UNSC.
If Thai say Yes, make a clear schedule for the Joint Border Committee to work on demarcation.
DO NOT SPEND TIME AND NATIONAL BUDGET JUST FOR TALKING!!!
