PHNOM PENH, Dec. 21 (Xinhua) -- Thai Defense Minister Gen. Yuthasak Sasiprapha, accompanied by the Army Chief Gen. Prayuth Chan-ocha and other Thai senior defense officials, arrived here on Wednesday morning for the 8th meeting of Cambodia-Thailand General Border Committee (GBC).
The delegation arrived here by a special aircraft of Royal Thai Air Force. At the Phnom Penh International Airport, the minister was welcomed by Cambodian four-star Gen. Neang Phat, secretary of state of the Ministry of Defense and other high-ranking military officials.
The visiting Yuthasak and his Cambodian counterpart Gen. Tea Banh will chair the 8th GBC meeting, said Neang Phat.
The meeting will focus on general security cooperation along the border and will discuss a time frame for both sides'troop redeployment from the newly defined demilitarized zone near Preah Vihear temple to comply with the order of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), he added.
Cambodia and Thailand have had sporadic border conflict over territorial dispute near Cambodia's Preah Vihear temple since the UNESCO listed the temple as a World Heritage Site on July 7, 2008. Thailand claims the ownership of 4.6 square kilometers (1.8 square miles) of scrub next to the temple.
On July 18, the ICJ ordered Cambodia and Thailand to immediately withdraw their military personnel from the provisional demilitarized zone covering about 17 square kilometers on the disputed border near Preah Vihear temple and to allow ASEAN observers access to the zone to monitor ceasefire.

"The delegation arrived here by a special aircraft of Royal Thai Air Force."
=What is so special about Siem aircraft of the Royal Siem Air Force? Does it make of gold? Does it have stealth capability? Can it fly around the Earth 10 times without refueling? Does it make in Thailand? If the answer is no to any of the following question then it is just an airplane and there is nothing special about it!ahhahah
Look beyond the problem. Why this problem occurs?
The puppet government's defiance of the 1991 Paris Peace Accord and its adoption of the bilateral treaties with Vietnam encouraged Thailand to do something that is conformed to those bilateral treaties, using a new drawing map.
To resolve this problem, the puppet government must abrogate those bilateral treaties, then adopt and implement the 1991 Paris Accord.
Hun Shit must free himself from Yuon's slave. He is old now. He should die as Khmer hero, not as Yuon's slave and the biggest traitor in Khmer history beside Sdach Lob Sihanouk.
