CAMBODIAN and Thai military commanders on this morning (10:40am) began the second round of negotiations over border dispute near a 11th century temple amid military tension.

The negotiation, held at the archway to Preah Vihear temple, was attended by Cambodian Major General Srey Doek, commander of Military Division 3 and Lt Gen Thawatchai Samutsakorn, commander of Thai Army Region 2 in a bid to find ways to defuse tension after the deadly clashes on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning at the disputed border areas near Preah Vihear Temple.

During the skirmishes, troops from both sides had exchanged fire of heavy weapons including rockets, machine guns and mortars, artillery.

Four-star general Chea Dara, deputy commander-in-chief of Royal Cambodian Armed Forces in charge of Preah Vihear region, said that during the two clashes, Cambodian troops had killed 32 Thai troops instantly on the battle field.


While on the Cambodian side, two Cambodians were killed (one soldier and one tourist), and 20 were wounded by shrapnel, he added.

Cambodia has already sent an official letter to the United Nations Security Council on Saturday to complain about the invasions of Thai troops into Cambodia on Friday and Saturday.

The border between Thailand and Cambodia has never been completely demarcated and the issue of Preah Vihear temple has been an age-old dispute.

Cambodia's Preah Vihear temple was enlisted as World Heritage Site on July 7, 2008. Just a week after the enlistment, Cambodia and Thailand have had border conflict due to Thai claim of the ownership of 1.8 square miles (4.6 sq km) of scrub next to the temple, triggering a military build-up along the border, and periodic clashes between Cambodian and Thai soldiers have resulted in the deaths of troops on both sides.

Dick! Ahbisit Vechha! silly boy. It is sure that your political weakness and the internal problem in your country makes Cambodia and our people suffer from damn shit Thailand.

Cambodia always has the unity and solidarity for any country in the region and in the world.

You have to unite your internal parties and people first before unifying with other neighbor countries (including Cambodia). One your internal issue is solved than the border issue with Cambodia can be immediately addressed. The world sees the political weakness clearly, in which is dividing Thailand in many colors (red, yellow, blue...) and that adhere to us as innocent Cambodia.

The negotiation between soldier and soldier will not be an effective mechanism, it should be stopped. However the Government and multilateral or International court the only mean for solving the border issues.

It should be noted that Cambodia has no overlapping or dispute area as declaiming by the illegal map drawn by the thief Thais.

To please,calm down,
and gain polltical
game,Abhisit starts negotiating.
These two prime ministers will prolong this game as
long as they can to
hide each of his
hypocrisy.
Hun Sen kept Taksin in his diamond closet and put Abhisit to use as his toy game.
When the Red Shirts
rise up,Hun Sen kicks Abhisit out.
Hun Sen likes to
play political checker.

I'm excited to hear that 32 Thai soldiers had been killed during the two days fighting. Do not under estimate the power of Cambodian arm forces you Thai invader.Stop bullying your neighboring countries such as Cambodia, Lao , Burma,Malaysia and even Vietnam ,I would say. Be careful Thailand, you've made yourself too many enemies. I hope one day khmers Surin will up rising like the Thai Muslim in the south.

Long live khmer soldiers!
