Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen is renewing calls for troops to withdraw from the disputed area near Preah Vihear temple and insists the matter should be settled through negotiation.
Hun Sen yesterday told opposition Puea Thai Party chairman Chavalit Yongchaiyudh in Phnom Penh Cambodia wanted the Joint Boundary Commission to come to an agreement on the area claimed by both Cambodia and Thailand.
"Thailand and Cambodia are friends and will always be friends," Gen Chavalit quoted Hun Sen as saying.
The JBC could begin negotiations once the troops withdrew, including possible talks on how to jointly develop the overlapping area, Gen Chavalit said.
The former prime minister held talks with Hun Sen during a one-day visit ahead of the Asean summit which starts tomorrow.
Hun Sen's position contradicted that of his foreign minister. Hor Namhong last week said he would seek help from Asean to settle the land dispute.
Asean Affairs Department director-general Vitavas Srivihok yesterday said the leaders of Indonesia and Malaysia would not join the summit opening ceremony tomorrow but they would join the meeting later in the day.
Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono was caught up with the formation of his new cabinet and Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak had to present his budget policy to the parliament, he said.
The summit in Cha-am and Hua Hin will be held amid tight security as a result of concerns about anti-government protests.
The United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship has said it would decide today whether its members would rally at the summit.

Thailand and cambodia always be friend? that's why Thais soldiers kept shooting and burning khmer unarmed people alive! Thailand alway be friend...? Ah kwack really blind....
While the Thai do the useless talk with Cambodia and pull more troops in that Thai and Preah Vihea border what it mean to you ah kwak? Your ignorant senseless leader wanted to cut troop?Oh boy ah kwak doesn't know what it doing,perhaps corruption money it is thinner or the donors around the world ,yhey know ah kwak is crook????
I'm afraid, we going to lose that piece of lands, around the temple, Thais black soldiers still staying there, and this PM will cutting more troops out...?? Thai side must pulls out those soldier immediately...
We won't lose our land if Thaksin wins. Hun Sen should help the Red shirts to head for a revolution in Thailand to cut the powerful elites then our land won't be disturbed. As long as the elites and powerful of Sino-Thais are in a ful control, they would use "lese majesty laws" to persecute their opponents to keep power and they will use the ultra PAD to cause troubles.
AH HUN SEN called Thailand his friend but Thailand never call Cambodia their friend! This is the fucken problem with AH HUN SEN and he would go around saying friends this and that but nobody want to be his friend and they all want to take advantage over him and Cambodia!
Now AH HUN SEN even call for negotiation with the enemies on Cambodian sovereignty! What will become of Cambodia even after AH HUN SEN long gone from Cambodian politic? AH HUN SEN will be condemned to the grave for treason!
Khmer people being shot almost every single day at the border, while looking for wild vegetable, cricket hunting...i can't believed he called Siamese a good Friend..?
I think Hun Sen on drugs...
Thai peple alwayas hate khmer,perhaps they are correct.
Khmers steal timber from thailand.Thais shoot them-fair enough.
If khmers steal timber in cambodia the cambodian army shoot them-business is business.
But what about khmer love khmer?
Not when its business.
khmer will shoot those Siamese bastard at the Pagoda for sure! you must get out quick, before khmer rouge burns your ass with rusty AK-47...
