Cambodia and Thailand agree to UNESCO meeting over damaged temple site

Source: UN News Centre

11 March 2011 – Representatives of Cambodia and Thailand have agreed to a United Nations-sponsored meeting to discuss ways to safeguard the Preah Vihear Temple, a World Heritage List site that was damaged during border clashes between the South-East Asian neighbours earlier this year.

The two sides will meet at the Paris headquarters of the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) on 25 May, the agency reported this week.

The agreement follows a recent mission to Cambodia and Thailand by Koïchiro Matsuura, UNESCO’s Special Envoy for Preah Vihear, who met with the prime ministers of the two nations and other senior officials.


UNESCO Director-General Irina Bokova said in a statement that the main aim of the discussions on 25 May will be “further dialogue on the effective conservation of Preah Vihear.”

An 11th-century Hindu temple, Preah Vihear was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 2008 in recognition of its outstanding universal value. Considered an outstanding example of Khmer architecture, it consists of a complex of sanctuaries linked by pavements and staircases on an 800-metre-long axis.

Ms. Bokova said she has also been briefing both Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) on the latest developments.

THE END OF THE KHMER ERA

The Vietnamese agendas are to kill all the Khmer population in Indochina from Khmer Krom to Khmer Surin and take all the Khmer land. The Preah Vihear temple conflicts will never be ending, because the Vietnamese will be pressing Hun Sen harder to get more land from Thai. But Thai will never give anything to any country and no country ever control Thailand since Independence in 1200's until now. Hun Sen is playing a very deadly game on the Khmer population by confronting and troops build-up on the Cambodan-Thai border is like fighting a tiger with bared hands. The Cambodian troops trained and armed by the Vietnamese will have a short life and short term on the border because of starvation, diseases, low salary, problems at home, antique weapons, and etc. This war are wasting Khmer life and money.

Hun Sen tried to flex his poorly and skinny muscle against Thai will be hurting himself and killing the whole Khmer population in Indochina. The Vietnamese never let Khmer people live in peace, indedpendence, sovereignty, autonomy and self-government liked KAMPUCHEA KROM. The Khmer people that joined and supported Hun Sen's Vietnamese slave will see a final resolve very soon is no CAMBODIA in the World Map liked KAMPUCHEA KROM after the Vietnamese completely take control and Hun Sen will be kill by the Vietnamese. Hun Sen's life is in the Vietnamese hands, so Hun Sen will never be afar from the Vietnamese government controlling and making decisions for the CPP.

Google Earth shown a lot places in CAMBODIA labeled in Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, English, and etc. but no Khmer letters were used, just look at Vietnam and Thailand maps was labeled only in English and their owned language. What was Hun Sen doing for 26 years in power?

THE END OF THE KHMER ERA IS VERY SOON, unless no more VIETNAMESE's puppet HUN SEN.

5:42 AM,

You sure smell like a PAD Thai.

While what you say about Yuon may be true, it is equally true the stupid Thai nationalist, including yourselves, is the cause of the conflict in Preah Vihear.

The PAD Thais, and the so-call Thai Patriotic Network is destroying your country right now.
No one can use reason with these gangs including your Thai government.

Thailand is becoming the laughing stock of the world and in many ways resemble a fail state. The current Thai government is installed by the PAD gangs.

The insurgents in the south hunt down Thais like animals to murder. Your government seem to have no effective solution but instead chooses to focus contending with Cambodia in Preah Vihear. How blindly stupid is that???

7:37 AM,

It seems Cambodia did just fine against the arrogant Thais last month.

You smell like a PAD Thai blog activist!

Thailand will never be free from tyranny until the king is gone.

Here is the power equation in Thailand:
Royal institution = Thai military. They install puppet Abhisit government and crush popularly elected government twice. Commit crime against the red protester.

Remember the old fart day at the throne is numbered! Let's see what happen next!

Oh mighty arrogant Thai military,

Are you so stupid! Or you think other are stupid like you or what??

The Abhisit government you installed
is very unpopular with your people so you decide to make Cambodia into your enemy to divert attention.

Your country have a serious problem in the south but you rather concentrate your attention with Cambodia. Why are you so incompetent to provide security to your Thai citizen from being murder like animals from the Muslim insurgents.

Your arrogant posture make you blind and stupid!!
