| Abhisit: Opposes development |
Bangkok Post
Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva has clearly told his Cambodian counterpart that Thailand opposes any attempt to develop disputed territory adjacent to the ancient Preah Vihear temple.
Mr Abhisit said he held bilateral talks with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen last week on the sidelines of the Ayeyawady-Chao Phraya-Mekong Economic Cooperation Strategy meeting in Phnom Penh.
Mr Abhisit said during his weekly talk show yesterday morning that it was the first time the two leaders had seriously discussed issues relating to the proposed development near the temple as part of the Preah Vihear World Heritage project.
He told Hun Sen that Thailand considered the area to be Thai territory but the World Heritage listing in 2008 had led to a proposal for Cambodia to manage the area "and that is unacceptable to us".
Mr Abhisit said Cambodia's management plan would lead to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (Unesco) and other countries managing an area that was Thai territory. He told Hun Sen that this development would cause conflict between the neighbours.
Hun Sen disagreed with the presence of Thai soldiers in the disputed area, but Mr Abhisit said the army presence resulted from Cambodia's development of a market there in violation of the 2000 memorandum of understanding under which the countries promised not to make any changes to the area pending demarcation negotiations.
Mr Abhisit said the talks ended with Thailand and Cambodia still opposed on the border issue, but they would try to find ways to prevent it triggering a conflict in the lead-up to the World Heritage Committee meeting next June

nothing new.
I would suggest the two countries go back to The Hague International Court of Justice.
Hun Sen does not like to follow the good advice from opposition party, even though the latter has been right from the very beginning – to let the UN handle the conflict instead of the wasteful bilateral talks.
In HS’ stubborn head to go along with the opposition party’s suggestion is to give them good credit which he has to avoid at all cost. You have to understand how does HS’ mind work? He wants the population think that he is the smartest leader in Cambodia.
His primary goal is to cling on to the power and whatever happens to the nation and the country is secondary.
HS ought to be the leader of the monkeys.
we viet nam believe Hun Sen- CPP and the last is the KING Sihanomi did a good job and a good leaders. they are working hand in hand. They are a good leaders and good followers to our instructions.
Also thanks to all our vietnamese brothers and sisters who sacrify their family to work in all level of officials in cambodia to keep it part of viet nam
we believe hanoi+husencock lickers no longer on earth ,that's natural law.nothing is permant,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
If someone stays in power for so long,he becomes a dictator.Hun Xen at all times says,"it's me,me,me!No one is on top of me in Cambodia.The constitution of Cambodia allows the terms of priminister to continue,not set up for two term limits only,but not have the thirt terms....The ones who wrote this constitution were worthless.No one on top of him in Cambodia,but he has Vietnam govt that is superior over him.
Thailand will not stop being greeds! eventhough the whole world knew that Thailand drew a fake map to steal cambodian lands...I think cambodia has no choice but to go a head to the International Court of Justice again! Otherwise, fighting will erupting soon or latter...Mr Hun Sen should stop playing flip flop games!!!!!!!!
