Thailand, Cambodia agree on troop reductions

Thailand and Cambodia have agreed in principle to reduce troops in a disputed section of their common border.

The two sides say they will also make it a priority to mark out sections of the contested area around the 11th century Preah Vihear temple - the scene of last month's deadly clashes.

The agreement between Cambodian foreign minister, Hor Namhong, and his Thai counterpart, Sompong Amornviwat, came after three days of talks in the Cambodian city of Siem Reap.

However, the Thai foreign minister says the accord is still subject to ratification by his country's parliament.

The two sides will meet for another round of negotiations in January.
