The Defense Council recommends the withdrawal of Thai and Cambodian troops from the disputed area around the Preah Vihear Temple to be discussed at the next meeting of the General Border Committee.
Defense Ministry spokesman Colonel Thanathip Sawangsaeng disclosed yesterday after a meeting of the Defense Council that the council suggested the government to negotiate with Cambodia through the General Border Committee on the troop withdrawal from the vicinity of the Preah Vihear Temple as ordered by the International Court of Justice.
Thanathip further said that the existing bilateral mechanisms with Cambodia will be used to talk about the matter and negotiations are needed to create better understanding between the two countries.
He noted that the Defense Ministry has assigned the Royal Thai Armed Forces Headquarters's Border Affairs Department to coordinate with Cambodia to ensure transparent and equal operation on both sides.
However, the Defense Ministry spokesman affirmed that the situation along the Thai-Cambodian border remains peaceful and life goes on for villagers.
Thanathip added that the Defense Council also expressed condolence to families of military officers who were killed in the recent helicopter crashes in the Kaeng Krachan National Park in Petchaburi Province and provided moral support for all military personnel to carry on their duty.

There is no negotiation about the troop withdrawal. It is about Thailand's compliance with the World Court or not. However, it can be an agreement for withdrawal and please stop making it more difficult.
Thailand tried to gain ownership game as reversing first order 1962. Thailand MUST withdraw its trops, and give back what Thailand had stole from Cambodia. NOW IT TRIES TO TRAG CAMBODIA AS A NO NO, YOU TOO WITHDRAWAL GAME.
Cambodia must be aware of this matter....
