Asean members are holding talks on a request from Cambodia for help in resolving a deadly border dispute with Thailand, the bloc's chairman said Tuesday.
"As Asean chair, Vietnam is actively consulting other Asean countries about the proposal that Asean mediates over the Preah Vihear dispute,'' Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokeswoman Nguyen Phuong Nga said in a statement.
Cambodia's foreign minister Hor Namhong on Saturday appealed to the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations for help, "in order to avoid any large scale armed conflict''.
He said a stalemate with Thailand had extinguished any hope of further bilateral negotiations.
The neighbouring nations have been locked in a troop standoff at their border since July 2008, when the ancient Preah Vihear temple was granted UNESCO World Heritage status.
Asean secretary general Surin Pitsuwan - a former Thai foreign minister - said Monday he would await a decision by the bloc's foreign ministers before responding to Cambodia's request for regional help.
The World Court ruled in 1962 that the temple belonged to Cambodia, although its main entrance lies in Thailand.
The exact boundary through the surrounding grounds remains in dispute, and occasional gunfights between troops of the two nations have claimed lives.
Nga called for peaceful settlement of the dispute, and called on Cambodia and Thailand to refrain "from armed conflict and from acts that could affect Asean solidarity.''

What???
Viets help Khmer negotiate PV back?
Who do they think they are?
Do us a favor - stop backing your boy Hun Xen, stay on your side of the border, and we Khmer will do just fine with the Thai comes hell or high water.
Ah Khmer government only talks about Thai-Khmer conflict. Where Ah Youn takes most of Khmer land in the East, Ah Sen doesn't say anything.
What is the fuck Ah Sen doing? He serves his master, Youn, rather working for Khmer interest. The same as Ah Sihanouk.
Now Ah Youn tries to help Ah stupid Khmer leader to take more Khmer land because Ah stupid Khmer leaders and kings do not know how to deal with Khmer land. They let Ah Youn take Khmer land.
I'm not concerned much about Thai, but Ah Youn.

totally agree with 11:12am. There are a lot of shit-talkers on this blog....the warriors who hide behind the screens.
How can they try to solve our country's problems when they can't even solve their own????
Vietnamese govt is Hun Sen boss,Hun sen must obey his master. It is not right,it is Vietnamese right.Vietnam is always behind Hun Sen. Five million illegal immigrants voted for Hun Sen.Hun Sen gets power because Vietnam. Everything are Vietnam.
ASEAN has nothing to do with Vietnam. And it is the ways the government of Cambodia has to go, before we contact the UN.
TO Cambodian PM,
How Hun Sen is going to react when,but NOT if, ASEAN proposes to co-share 4.9 Km2 with ThaiLand?
A million dollar question to cambodian PM.
"Win-win for Thailand!"
Vietnam is of concern lest the Thaïalnde dare speak of the Paris Agreements! For Both Cambodia and Vietnam and Thailand are bound by their respective signatures if the UN mingle his fingers in it. Thailand has won twice, against the Paris Agreements.
