The Cambodian government has insisted it will not participate in a bilateral talk with Thailand on the border dispute issue.
According to Deum Ampil, a Cambodian news agency, and Xinhua, the official press agency of the Chinese government, the Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Cambodia, Hor Namhong, made a statement before meeting with the Secretary-General of ASEAN, Surin Pitsuwan, indicating that the Cambodian government will only hold a bilateral talk with Thailand once the border management plan agreed on earlier at the Joint Border Committee is approved and implemented.
The news agencies have also reported that the Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen has criticized Thailand as being insincere in its efforts to solve the border dispute.
After nearly an hour-long talk with Hor Namhong, Surin said he would like to see the border dispute around Preah Vihear Temple peacefully resolved, and that he is waiting for a reply from the ASEAN foreign ministers on Hun Sen's request for assistance on the border quarrel as it could escalate into an armed conflict.
Hor Namhong also made a remark after the talk that Cambodia also wants to settle the dispute peacefully, but it will defend its sovereignty from any foreign invasion.
Sry Thamarong, the Cambodian deputy prime minister's close aid, has disclosed that the two have discussed how to solve the dispute peacefully and with patience, and how to avoid the use of strong rhetoric or force.
Surin arrived in Cambodia last Sunday to promote international relationships and to attend the AEAN Natural Disasters Conference before returning to Thailand tomorrow.

Since Hun Sen was a Khmer Rouge commander, now a Khmer Rouge leader and had many of his political opponents and journalists assassinated, I wonder if he have any plan to assassinate the Thai Prime Minister (Ahbullshit Vejjajiva)?
Cambodian government should stick on its position/stand on the regional and international involvements. Although the previous meetings' minutes between the two countries will be reviewed and approved by Siamese both upper and lower houses, Cambodian must also review again line by line and word by word in order to make sure any unilaterally change by Siam without consultation with Cambodia.

Of course we knew, not just Mr. Hun Sen was a Khmer Rouge. But almost all of nationalists were Khmer Rouge supporter in fighting 1970-75 again the US bombs and 1978-1989 again the Vietnamse military occupation.
PM Hun Sen - please stick with your plan to get ASEAN and UN involved to resolve the problem.
ASEAN and UN know Siam is greedy and aggressor. That's why Siam never wants ASEAN/UN to get involved.
TO THE GOVERNMENT OF CAMBODIA:
PLEASE DO NOT TALK WITH THAI, THAILAND ANYMORE. PLEASE FILE COMPLIANT TO THE INTERNATION COURT TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THAILAND, THAI HAS BEEN LIED ALL CENTURIES, THAI TWISTED HISTORY AND SO ON. DO NOT LISTEN TO THAI, THAILAND. PLEASE!...PLEASE!...PLEASE!. IF WE, CAMBODIA HAS TO GO TO WAR WITH THAILAND, THAT'S NO PROBLEM, WE DONT' AFRAID OF THAI, THAILAND.
