BANGKOK, Feb 12 (Bernama) -- Thai Natural Resources and Environment Minister Suwit Khunkitti is scheduled to visit France next week to meet the secretary-general of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the director-general of the World Heritage Centre under UNESCO in Paris to explain border rows between Thailand and Cambodia related to the ancient Preah Vihear Temple, a world heritage site, to the UN authorities.
Suwit said on Saturday he would clarify before the UNESCO authorities that Thailand did not invade Cambodia, and that a spate of clashes between Thai and Cambodian troops along the border near the Preah Vihear Temple were, instead, Thailand's attempts to protect national sovereignty, Thai News Agency (TNA) reported.
Suwit revealed that Thailand will also seek a review of the World Heritage Committee's listing of the Preah Vihear Temple for Cambodia, as Thailand has maintained its opposition to the unilateral listing based on the fact that the 11th century temple stands on an unsettled area of Thailand and Cambodia and that a world heritage site management plan proposed by Cambodia covers its vicinity which includes Thai territory.
The Thai minister said that Thailand will, therefore, ask the World Heritage Committee, at its next meeting in Bahrain in June this year, to postpone its consideration of the Cambodian management plan until Thailand and Cambodia conclude their border re-demarcation.
Suwit has met parties concerned in Thailand, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Royal Thai Survey Department, the Fine Arts Department and the Thai World Heritage Committee to gather information in preparation for his trip to Paris next week.

A twisted tail-dog is still be the one no matter where it goes, with ill-intense ambition and historically confused narrow nationalist just good at manipulating the facts and covering their lies to the international community and body.Who's gonna fall in that??? What a shame!
They've been trying everything at any cost to claim what isn't their-the Khmer Preah Vihear Temple which was ruled by ICJ in 1962 based on the Franco-Siemse 1904-1907 treay and The Franco 1908 map that the Khmer Preah Vihear Temple and 4.6 square km is belong to Cambodia and in her territory and sovereignty.So,Cambodia and her people is the only and sole owner of The Khmer Preah Vihear Temple.
SIEM LEADERS PLS NOTED
Do not wast time, the world will not stupid with you a LIAR. Preah Vihear is belong to Cambodia no question. Khmer Soth, USA
siem can't adjust by using their own illegal unilateral map to talk with cambodia about this matter. cambodia only honor the international treaty map of 1907 as official and recognized by the world, not siem's unilateral map to steal adjacent lands from cambodia. siem's idea of bilateral talk will only go in cicrle again, so, cambodia want international mediation to take a closer look at the 1907 map as a solution to the problem!
Hun Sen has done everything to work with Thai to settle the border.
Now the world can see the fact that Abhisit is the trouble maker and caused the war.
