PHNOM PENH, Feb 24 (Bernama) -- Koichiro Matsuura, the UNESCO Director-General's special envoy on the Preah Vihear Temple, will travel to Bangkok and Phnom Penh between Feb 25 and March 1 to discuss the safeguarding of the World Heritage site with Thai and Cambodian prime ministers, Vietnam News Agency (VNA) reported.
Matsuura, a former Director-General of UNESCO (1999-2009) and a former Chair of the World Heritage Committee (1999), will also examine with both sides ways of reducing tension and promoting dialogue around the preservation of the temple, said a statement issued by the Paris-based UN Educational Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO).
On Wednesday, the Thai government's spokesperson Panithan Wattanayakorn announced a visit by a UNESCO mission to Thailand on Feb 25 to gather information relating to the disputes around the temple of Preah Vihear with Cambodia.
But, the UNESCO mission is not allowed to come to the disputed border area, Panithan added.
Meanwhile, the Thai Foreign Ministry's spokesperson Thani Thongpakdi said that the Thailand-Cambodia Joint Border Committee (JBC) is scheduled to meet on border mark erection in March's first week in Indonesia.
Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Hor Namhong said his country is satisfied with outcomes of the Feb 22 Asean meeting in Jakarta.
About 15 observers of each side will be deployed to the border areas. Details of monitoring activities will be further discussed at meetings between Cambodia, Thailand and Indonesia -- the Asean Chair in 2011.
According to the Cambodian Deputy PM, all meetings at foreign, defence ministerial levels or the JBC will take place with the presence of the Asean Chair or representatives from Indonesia in the capacity of coordinator.
The 11th century temple of Preah Vihear was inscribed on the World Heritage List for its outstanding universal value in keeping with the 1972 World Heritage Convention, which has been ratified by both Cambodia and Thailand.

Cambodia goverment block Ki or Khmerization.
It is the same way that Kherization limite the freedom of speech and expression toward Ms. Rattana Keo. So it is very fair!
Ms. Rattana Keo is hero of new khmer generation. She repeats talking about Kos Trol that's all but Khmerization website mop her down.
Inconclusion every websites they are always serving their master and purpose, even KI or Khmerization. Ms. Rattana Keo's case is an classic example of Freedom of speech and expression that has been mopped by Khmerization. She just repeat about Kos Trol and in her comment has nothing to do with rude languge or her own benifit at all. She speaks the true about what are happening in Cambodia and a lot of people including Kherization anti her comment. So this is the same way that Cambodia goverment do the same to Ki or Khmerization ( limit freedom of speech and Expression )
Any border demarcation will be done according to the French-Siam map of 1904 and 1907!
The Siem thuggish government will not be allowed to use their own map like Hilter use his own map to conquer the whole European continent!
It is a fact that Siem leaders choose to be an ally of Hitler to declare war on United States and United Kingdom during WWWII!
Now Siem thuggish leaders want to be the new Hitler of Southeast Asia by choosing Cambodia to be their first victim while the world stand by and do nothing!
