Phnom Penh, Aug 17 (VNA) – ASEAN General Secretary Surin Pitsuwan has called for a peaceful solution to a border dispute between Cambodia and Thailand.

The ASEAN leader talked with the media after meeting Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Hor Namhong on Aug 16 in Phnom Penh.

Deputy PM Hor Namhong reaffirmed Cambodia ’s stand in solving the current border dispute with Thailand by peaceful means. However, he stressed that Cambodia is ready to defend its territorial integrity against any act of aggression.

The disputed ancient Preah Vihear temple is located in the mountains on the border between the two neighbouring countries.

The International Court of Justice decided in June 1962 that the temple belonged to Cambodia, but the boundary through the surrounding grounds includes an area of 4.6 sq. km that has been in dispute since the temple was granted UNESCO World Heritage status in 2008.

Hun Xen has done nothing to save all Khmer victims' lives from Pol Pot's massacre. It was Khmer Rouge evil deed or kamma that brought them down. Hun Xen and you and his criminal comrades are just traitors and opportunists who sell Cambodia to Yuons.

It's dumb indeed for any fool to think Hun Xen is the savior of Khmer people from Pol Pot's massacre. Hun Xen, Heng Xamrim, Chea Xim, Pen Sovann, and many more Khmer Rouge's fugitives were just chess pwns the Yuons used to civer up their invasion of Cambodia from the world's condemnation. These group of monkeys had nothing to do with Yuons' plan. The Yuons invaded Cambodia because they wanted to revenge the Khmer Rouge, who thought one of their soldiers could kill up to 40 Yuons' spldiers, for their invasion of Vietnam and killed more than 400 Yuon people at Ha Tien in spring 1978.

VIETNAM DIABOLIC PLAN in 1975

Vietnam could annex Cambodia in 1975 but
they gave time to Vietkong, Vietminh and Khmer rouges to kill Khmers before and
when they came in Cambodia in 1979 they looked like saviour.
