Abhisit-Hun Sen talks unlikely

5/06/2011

Caretaker Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said on Sunday morning he would hold talks with Prime Minister Hun Sen if Cambodia, among other conditions, withdraws its troops from the disputed area around the Preah Vihear temple ruins.

Mr Abhisit was responding to a report that Hun Sen had offerred to hold talks with Thailand for both countries to jointly make use of the 4.6 square kilometre disputed area.

Thailand and Cambodia already have the Joint Boundary Commission (JBC) as a mechanism to work on this matter.


If Cambodia wants to use this mechanism, it should observe the Thai-Cambodian memorandum of understanding of 2000 by halting its plan to unilaterally register the Preah Vihear temple as a world heritage site, Mr Abhisit said.

He said Cambodia should also withdraw its troops from aound the temple and stop forwarding bilateral conflicts to various international forums.

It would be the best for both countries to comply with the MoU of 2000.

If Cambodia complies with these conditions, the Thai government would be ready for talks to solve problems between the two countries, Mr Abhisit said.
