RIA Novosti (Russia)
Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said on Wednesday that planned peace talks between Thai and Cambodian defense ministers had been rescheduled.
The talks to end a conflict over a long-standing border dispute were abruptly cancelled when Thai Defense Minister Gen. Prawit Wongsuwon left for China on Wednesday morning.
"We are not pulling out of cease-fire talks with Cambodia," Vejjajiva said. "We will set a new date as soon as Defense Minister Prawit Wongsuwon comes back from China."
Before flying to Beijing, Gen. Prawit said his meeting in China was scheduled several months ago and could not be cancelled. But Thai media cited a military spokesman as saying that the decision was made in response to Cambodian claims that Thailand was admitting defeat by attending the talks.
A century-old conflict between the two states over the ownership of several 11th century temples was reignited in 2010. The two neighbors fought a four-day war near one of the temples in February, and a ceasefire has been in place since March.
The current clashes started last Friday when the sides exchanged artillery, rocket and rifle fire near the Ta Moan and Ta Krabey temples, killing 14 people. Both sides blame each other for starting the conflict.
Fighting also broke out on Tuesday at the Preah Vihear temple 150 km (93 miles) to the east of the temples.
The border between Thailand and Cambodia has never been demarcated in detail.
Thailand says it wants a bilateral solution to the conflict, while Cambodia seeks international mediation and independent monitors in the disputed area.
Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen accused Thailand on Wednesday of warmongering, but said that he welcomed talks with the Thai prime minister at a scheduled meeting in Indonesia early next month.

It is clear who the bully is ...
The Thai foreign minister spoke to CNN that Thai does not want to put pressure/burderns on the United Nation. He said Thai favors bilateral peace making. He boasted that Thailand has a democratic government and his society is more civilised. He forgets how many elected Thai governments were ousted by the Thai Monarch and so-called "obedient" Thai Army? Really, his government is a "puppet" democratic Thai government!, (a Thai style - somtarm Thai style, krung tep nah krup!, Laos style more delicious....***smile***)
Clearly, a bilateral solution is not working as evidence from clashes confronted since 2008. The Thai government is not fit politically to enter any workable agreement with Cambodia. Likewise, Cambodia under the leadership of Hun Sen does not has the capacity to make peace with Thai, and Thailand knows this. Because of the way Hun Sen rule Cambodia, his pillars of support/power, bilateral peace making only benefits Thailand. And Thailand wants the same benefits, more or less, as in the Eastern parts of Cambodia.
I agree with the Thai foreign minister, slightly, just slightly, that there are mechanisms already in place to solve border disputes. The mechanism I am referring to is the 1991 Paris Peace Accord. There were 19 countries, including Cambodia and Thailand, the signatories in that treaty. The treaty ensures Cambodian sovereignity and territorial integrity. Cambodian government of the day should use it, and summon these countries to a round table, so to ensure its sovereignity and territorial integrity is protected.
Lastly, Cambodia should unilaterally invite and accept international observers on its side of the border, embedding with Cambodian army close to the border, if Cambodia geniunely cares about its own border and sovereignity. In this way, Cambodia does not need Thai to consent to have these observers. But, if Cambodia too plays politics with its border issue as Thailand does, (as Thai election is approaching), or delays any further, the theory that in a 100 years times Vietnam and Thailand will be neighbours may be true and even come sooner.
Because the news say Thais are defeating and is that give the guy to cancel the meeting? That is such an insensitive excuse. The conflict still there and human lives lost any second. It is very childish thinking. Or they do not care or
Just want to be a bully.
That is ah thailand lost!!! NOT KHMER.
Var Kim Hong does recognize that Cambodia, if compared to the colonial Service Geographique de l’Indochine scale map 1/100,000 and the 1985 delimitation treaty, will loses 9,000 hectares; and compared to U.S Army Mapping Service scale map 1/50,000 with the 1985 Treaty, would lose about 7,900 hectares to Vietnam. This statement was confirmed by Var Kim Hong to Mr. Touch Bora Esq through a telephone conversation on 30 August 2002 at 4:30 p.m. (Sydney time), which Mr. Touch Bora Esq wrote in his letter dated on 9 September 2002 sent to Sam Dach Ta Noroudom Sihanouk concerning over border affairs.
In fact, the loss is absolutely more than the 1000 square kilometers stated by MP Sam Rainsy in his statement, if we add the size of the historical water of 30000 square kilometers awarded to Vietnam under the 1982 Agreement which has been into affect and now already become under the full control of Vietnam. And this would not be the last if the equidistance principle be used to delimit the maritime boundary, Cambodia will lose an additional area of sea and seabed measuring at least 860 square nautical miles from the Brevie Line to the north, analyzed by Mr. Touch Bora Esq or another 10000 square kilometers confirmed by Mr. Sean Pengse, the President of the Cambodian Border Committee Worldwide, which exclusively include another Koh Poula Wai to Vietnam added to the previous lost islands- Koh Tral (Dao Phu Quoc) and Koh Poulo Panjang (Dao Thu Chu).
This is why sVar Kim Hong said in front of Students´s Movement for Democracy (SMD), and Sam Dach Ta Norodom Sihanouk on 22 Janaury 2000 during our audience with him concerning the border resolution with Vietnam that; “If we want peace, we must sacrifice our flesh to the tiger.” The truth is discovered now that, “Sacrifice the flesh to tiger actually means cutting our land to the Viet.” This word was clearly spoken out from his mouth and there were Sam Dach Ta as witness and 31 members.
We must condemn this Var Kim Hong for his role in helping the traitorous regime of Hun Sen.
Smart Khmer Girl Ms. Rattana Keo,
Koh Tral Island must not be forgotten
By Ms. Rattana Keo
Why do Koh Tral Island, known in Vietnam as Phu Quoc, a sea and land area covering proximately over 10,000 km2 [Note: the actual land size of Koh Tral itself is 574 square kilometres (222 sq miles)] have been lost to Vietnam by whose treaty? Why don’t Cambodia government be transparent and explain to Cambodia army at front line and the whole nation about this? Why don't they include this into education system? Why?
Cambodian armies are fighting at front line for 4.6 km2 on the Thai border and what's about over 10,000km2 of Cambodia to Vietnam. Nobody dare to talk about it! Why? Cambodian armies you are decide the fate of your nation, Cambodian army as well as Cambodian people must rethink about this again and again. Is it fair?
Koh Tral Island, the sea and land area of over 10,000 square kilometres have been lost to Vietnam by the 1979 to 1985 treaties. The Cambodian army at front line as well as all Cambodian people must rethink again about these issues. Are Cambodian army fighting to protect the Cambodia Nation or protecting a very small group that own big lands, big properties or only protecting a small group but disguising as protecting the Khmer nation?
The Cambodian army at front lines suffer under rain, wind, bullets, bombs, lack of foods, lack of nutrition and their families have no health care assistance, no securities after they died but a very small group eat well, sleep well, sleep in first class hotel with air conditioning system with message from young girls, have first class medical care from oversea medical treatments, they are billionaires, millionaires who sell out the country to be rich and make the Cambodian people suffer everyday.
Who signed the treaty 1979-1985 that resulted in the loss over 10,000 km2 of Cambodia??? Why they are not being transparent and brave enough to inform all Cambodians and Cambodian army at front line about these issues? Why don't they include Koh Tral (Koh Tral size is bigger than the whole Phom Phen and bigger than Singapore [Note: Singapore's present land size is 704 km2 (271.8 sq mi)]) with heap of great natural resources, in the Cambodian education system?
Look at Hun Sen's families, relatives and friends- they are billionaires, millionaires. Where did they get the money from when we all just got out of war with empty hands [in 1979]? Hun Sen always say in his speeches that Cambodia had just risen up from the ashes of war, just got up from Year Zero with empty hands and how come they are billionaires, millionaires but 90% of innocent Cambodian people are so poor and struggling with their livelihood every day?
