U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of States Scot Marciel said on Tuesday that Washington wanted to see Phnom Penh and Bangkok to solve their border disputes through peaceful talks for the benefits of the two nations.
Speaking to reporters at a press briefing, Scot Marciel said " we are good friends with Cambodia and Thailand. And likes most other countries are concerned the tension between the two countries, we have said and hoped that both governments and leaders will do what they can to try to reduce tension and then to work trying to find a peaceful and rapid solution to these problems."
War of words between Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen and Thai' s Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva has escalated since last week over Hun Sen's first tour of the Khmer 11th built Temple of Preah Vihear and Cambodian military forces who beefed up security near the Thai's border.
Relations between the two countries turned rocky in November after Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen appointed ousted Thai premier Thaksin Shinawatra, who lives abroad to escape a jail term for corruption, as economic advisor of him and his government. Both nations have recalled their ambassadors since.
Cambodia said that the Thais claimed the land of 4.6 square km near the Temple is baseless given the U.N. court of International Court of Justice (ICJ) in 1962 ruled out that the Temple of Preah Vihear is situated in territory under the sovereignty of Cambodia.
Scot Marciel arrived in the Kingdom on Feb. 8. He held talks with Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Hor Namhong.
The visit is aimed at strengthening the relationship between Washington and Phnom Penh, said an official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation.

The government plans to take three levels of legal measures to control the red shirts of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship who are expected to stage a mass rally this month, acting government spokesman Panitan Wattanayagorn said on Tuesday.
Mr Panitan said ordinary laws would be used if the situation was not serious.
If the situation was serious, the Internal Security Act would be imposed, initially in 38 provinces which are strongholds of the UDD.
If the situation went beyond control, the emergency decree would be imposed, he said.
The prime minister's deputy secretary-general said the government initially estimated about 100,000 people would take part in the rally, which might be extended beyond Feb 76, regardless of what the court verdict on the 76 billion baht assets seizure case might be.
Mr Panitan said it was of great concern that some groups of red shirts in Bangkok and nearby provinces favoured violent action. However, the government had kept them under close watch.
"Most of them are former para-military rangers or those who had undergone weapon training. They may use some equipment to create chaos, judging from their communication via websites," Mr Panitan said.
The spokesman said the government had detected unusual flows of money from abroad to a financial expert in the country. Some of the money had been transferred through bank accounts and some brought in suitcases via Suvarnabhumi airport during the past two or three months, he said.
"The government is trying to figure out how much money has been brought in and where it has gone to. If the money goes to the hard cores, particularly a former military officer well-known in society, the rally could turn violent.
"As far as we know, some groups of the red shirts have established military-like chains of command with experts in both war and home-made weapons," Mr Panitan said.
Wow, Thai is having civil war soon!!
1 Million red shirts matching toward Abhisit's gov house.
Go red-shirt go!!!!

11:48PM, Right! Hun Sen need to worry about his country. Abhisit worry about his.
Hun Sen! How about Youn border side? Hundreds of thousand nectas have been encroach by Youn. Hun Sen never said to Youn instead supporting them to prosecute his own people who dare to raised the issues. Pathetic!

You both are a great kids just learn and try to solve the problem between you two I'm proud of you both. If you want some candy come here get some.

Mr. hun sen is a good guy if you know how to deal with him,don't tell me wrong I knew for sure he will give you any thing you want a real example is don't yuo see viet nam got a lot of land with out fighting with Khmer?
Yes, Hun Sen must tell Yuon to get out and stop encroaching Khmer's land.
12:01AM,
If Hun Xen work for the interest of Cambodia and Cambodians. Mr. Sam Rainsy would stay living peacefully and wealthy in France.
Don't try to claim part of Canada's claim artic circle as USA's territory. Some Canadians still believed USA has been trying to muscle out part of this shunk of rich oil land.
Canada and USA should try to resolve this peaceful mean because Cambodia is friendly to both nations.
12:08AM, Good one! That is funny!
"Mr. hun sen is a good guy if you know how to deal with him,don't tell me wrong I knew for sure he will give you any thing you want a real example is don't yuo see viet nam got a lot of land with out fighting with Khmer?"
Talking, talking, and talking and no action don’t mean anything!
Hey! Even a baby want to talk...goo...goo...gaa…gaa...goo...goo...gaa...gaa..
I want to see some progress here between Cambodia and Thailand! And what I am seeing right now is that AH Abishit has created more problems than Hun Sen in term of peace, stability, and prosperity between Cambodia and Thailand!
Remember! Hun Sen will shadow AH Abishit in every move...if
AH Abishit want peace and no problem!
AH Abishit want trade and no problem!
AH Abishit want peaceful talk and no problem!
AH Abishit want open border and no problem!
AH Abishit want no fighting along the border and no problem!
AH Abishit want to bring his ambassador back to Phnom Phen and no problem!
But if AH Abishit want to behave like a five years old kid with unruly behavior and acting belligerence and have no respect and manner for the elders and that will the problem!
12:35AM,

Abhisit said to HUN SEN, O.k Hun Sen it is between you and me (Ahbisit). Why don't both of us hold an election. You do it in Cambodia I'll do in Thailand and let the voters have all rights, and fair no intimidation period.
And we all allow the opposition to have TVs, Radio, Newspapers and all kind of propaganda resources they want. I'll bet you, you will lose an election!!!!

Hun Sen
I'm sick and tired of Khmer/Thai issue. This has been over a year and still pain in the ass. This to show the world that Khmer leader is incompetent.
Youn secretly orders senvarman going to da west, so the people of Khmer might quickly forget about the eastern border and in addition senvarman is a national hero of protecting of the western!
Only international solution that can end this border conflict between Cambodia, thailand, and vietkinh and the violation of these two countries, thaicong and vietkinh against Cambodia
To Mr.Scot Marciel:
Please understand...converning the tension between the two countries, if the Thai government would cooperate and follows 1907 map, then the problem could has been solved without your comments. Let's make it short, the problem is the Thai government and its people who creates problem with Cambodian.
AK KM
HUN SEN should contact Sean Peng Se!!
HUN SEN should contact Sean Peng Se!!
hun sen doen't need sean peng se if hun wants to resolve problem to international standard, hun has enough proofs to prove it but hun doen't want it but just want to play with cambodian people as abhisit did to fool siamese
it's abhisit and hun's game
Since Hun Sen was a Khmer Rouge commander, now a Khmer Rouge leader and had many of his political opponents assassinated, I wonder if he have any plan to assassinate the Thai Prime Minister (AhBullShit Vejjajiva)?
don't they ever heard of the phrase: leave it to the experts! maybe people don't understand the meaning of "expert". expert are well educated well trained individual. they know the code of conduct, the law, the rule, etc... that's the difference.
Don't they ever HEAR not "heard" 4:08 AM...People will take you more seriously if you are mindful of even the little grammatical mistakes you made...
Please believe me when I suggested that...it makes a difference!!!
Have you ever heard, or what have you, so fuck it. People here for exchanging ideas.
Hooray for Cambodia...Now let Yellow Thais and Red Thais kill each others."Phnon Penh Rolea and Bangkok Roloum " just like the Khmer proverb said. It will happpen...Yeah you thieves stole our land and people too.....Dragon
Whoever demanding Thai to give land to Xen you are dead dreaming. Thai are not stupid and crazy like Xen and no country can conquered or controlled since 1200's until now. Surin province and others was under Thai since 1800's. Khmer Krom was under the Vietnamese in 1950s.
Now Cambodia need to be independence and autonomy without Vietnamese.
Some folks here always bringing the Khmer Rouge (Hun Sen, Khmer Rouge etc.). Please DO NOT bring up about the Khmer Rouge, you should care about the invasion of the neigbor, the Khmer Rouge is 'KHMER' and you are 'KHMER'. Can you see Ah Thai (Thiland) has been invading Cambodia at the border? Stop talking about Khmer Rouge.
AK KM
don't let others distract you from your train of thought, be selective in your choosing and be wised and educated about it all. god bless.
To 4:29AM
"Thai are not stupid and crazy like Xen and no country can conquered or controlled since 1200's until now."
= Are you kidding me? Thailand is a small shrimp among whale. Tell me who help destroy Cambodia by colluding with the Super Power? You remembered the B-52 flying from Thailand to drop ton, ton, and ton of bombs on Cambodia to destroy Cambodian economy, create chaos and instability and the nightmare to come which cost 2 million Cambodian life.
Super Powers don't need to conquered or controlled Thailand because Thailand can be used!
