NEW YORK, Sept 25 - Despite a diplomatic standoff which resulted in part from Cambodia's unilateral management plan for the environs of the ancient Preah Vihear temple that sits on contested land claimed by both Thailand and Cambodia, the prime ministers of the two countries have agreed. to improve relations for the benefit of their peoples.
Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen talked for half an hour on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly agreeing that warm relations between the two neighbouring countries are vital for the benefit of their peoples.
Although conflicts remain, bilateral trade has increased, Mr Abhisit told a TNA journalist.
Mr Abhisit quoted Mr Hun Sen as telling him that a warm welcome was seen at a recent Thai trade fair in Cambodia and that both countries should refrain from confrontations or violence.
Frequent visits at the ministerial level and more joint activities should be organised, Mr Hun Sen was quoted as saying.
UNESCO's World Heritage Commission agreed in July to consider a plan for managing Preah Vihear temple proposed by the Khmer government, but deferred the action until it meets next year. Both countries claim land adjacent to the temple.
In 1962, the International Court of Justice ruled the 10th-century border temple belongs to Cambodia, rejecting Thai claims. UNESCO named Preah Vihear a World Heritage site in 2008, after Cambodia applied for the status.
Armed clashes resulting casualties on both sides have occurred occasionally in the area since then.
Mr Abhisit said the temple row was not raised during his meeting with Mr Hun Sen as the issue is now being dealt with by concerned agencies while rhe premier and his Khmer counterpart could discuss details in several other upcoming international forums.
"The atmosphere for resolving the problem should improve," Mr Abhisit said.

i think bilateral relation is different and should not be mixed with pretexts with cambodia's preah vihear temple, etc! the problem is siem tried to take advantage of cambodia's since civil war. border issues and bilateral relations are two separate thing. the only time bilateral relations is soured is when we have war against each other. if no war, then bilateral relations is a normal thing between two nations, etc...
Priminister Hun Sen!..please do not agree with Ah Thai (Thailand), we must take consideration to the Internatiuon Court of Justice regarding to Preah Vihear temple and land adjacent to the temple. I used to like Thai (Thailand), now I hate worse then Vietnamese. Thai lies and afraid if we take them to internation court. Please do not believe what Ah Thai said.
Dear 3:55 AM
Your primenister can't make any decision by himself. He has to have green light from my uncle Ho first and regard to Preach Vihear issue, my uncle Ho needs it to diverse Khmer attention from the East border encroachment and to kill the rest of Pot Pot's KR soldier. Only former Viet Minh's KR that uncle Ho like.
Only Xen negotiates with thief.
May God help Xen has a brain like a normal people.

ONLY HAVING A BIG WOUND WHICH IS HEALING FAST. SO UNCLE HO KNEW ABOUT IT, HE TOLD HANOI GANGS THAT I AM AFRAID TO BE BORN AGAIN BECAUSE THE KHMER PEOPLE KNOW I WAS THE ONE WHO MASTERMIND THE KILLING OF KHMER ROUGH REGIME. AND THE WHOLE WORLD KNEW ABOUT IT. SO MY HANOI PEOPLE I WILL HAVE TO STAY IN HELL FOR NOW.

I always hear Hun Sen screaming
I won't talk to you unless you pull out your
troop from Preavihear. What the liar cowerd.
Lighting will strike you soon.
Lightning won't strike Hun Sen; he is well protected!
Lightning only strikes poor Cambodian farmers out there in the fields trying to make a living.
If Khmers are still stupid and dumb, Khmers will be landless, homeless and live under Youns' control like Khmers Krom.
I would rather live under Thailand then Viet...cuz my great great grandparent were Thai national...in Battambang province!
Siwatha Kucheyeariddh,
12:13AM!~ Stupid! fool!
The Vietcong had their chance to conquer Cambodia but after 10 years they withdrew their troop from Cambodia....The Siem can learn a lot from the Vietcong military adventure in Cambodia!
Any foreign military campaign in Cambodia will be costly and take along time to achieve and then the beginning of a new protracted guerilla warfare that will never end the war....It is so easy to start a war and how do you end the war and this is what the Siem leaders need to ask themselves!
If Siem try and Siem will die!
