“The border situation has been solved out.”
Tension along the border where Thai and Cambodian troops have been stationed since 2008 have been greatly reduced with the situation nearing its pre-build-up level, Prime Minister Hun Sen said Monday.
Both sides are working toward a resolution to the disputed border area near Preah Vihear temple, which became the site of ongoing military skirmishes and lasting worry for policymakers since the temple was inscribed on a World Heritage protection list under Cambodian management in July 2008.
“The situation has eased,” Hun Sen said in public comments Monday. “The border situation has been solved out.”
But it remains unclear just how far either side has backed off.
Khon Savoun, said that 10 Thai soldiers left Wat Keo Sekha Kiri Svarak pagoda, a flashpoint west of the temple, on December 1.
But Cambodian soldiers remain in newly built barracks along the border, and Thai and Cambodian troops are still making joint patrols, Khon Savoun said.
Hun Sen gave few details Monday. “I don't want to make a public statement,” he said. “But I can say that the problem was solved out. I'll just say that, and it's enough to understand.”
Hun Sen said four meetings between him and Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva had led to the easing of tensions, following repairs to diplomatic relations that reached a nadir in late 2009. The two countries will celebrate 60 years of diplomatic relations on Dec. 19.
Thai parliament is now expected to approve minutes from joint border committee meetings that could pave the way for more border talks, demining and demarcation. Thai protesters say they plan to demonstrate against the approval of the minutes.
Hun Sen said Monday the movement of goods across the border was now “easy,” but added more steps remain, including “the measurement of the border, the issue of demining and the issue of opening more border checkpoints to push bilateral cooperation.”

Now that the troops have been pulled back from the Thai border, perhaps Hun Sen can send them on to the Viet border, to reclaim the sugar cane fields belonging to Khmer farmers. That 109 post definitely looks out of place in the middle of a Khmer far.
HUN SEN LIES, KHMER PEOPLE DIE.
8:50AM, I agree with you.
LONG LIVE VIET NAM--forever viet nam control cambodia and turn into a province..
Thank you SOK Siphana, PHAY Siphan and SARIN Denora for your support and lip services and manipulated the international communities.
Yuon , Siem ( Thai ) have encroached Khmer land along the border deeper and deeper under the eyes of Hun Sen.
Why Hun Sen has turn blind eye to this encroachment, because yuon installed Hun Sen in 1975 to kill Khmer and swallow Cambodia as yuon did to Lao.
Hun Sen is a tool of Indochina Federation.
9.02 AM,
Hun Sen is just a tool! Period.
Youn handling Cambodian border in the name of CPP.
Look at CPP high ranking members :
1. Heng Samrin ( Khmer Viet Minh, Khmer Rouge, CPP ),
2. Chea Sim ( Khmer Viet Minh, Khmer Rouge, CPP ).
3. Meas Sophea ( Yuon born in Vietnam, serving as Royal Army Chief in Hun Sen regime ).
4. Hor Namhong ( former prison chief of B 32 between 1975-1979 ).
5. Chan Si ( Khmer Viet Minh ) same as Ros Samai, Sai Bouthong.
6. Pen Sovan ( former Khmer Issarak, Khmer Viet Minh, former Prime Minister of CPP)
So if we look at CPP high ranking members they all are yuon and Khmer Viet Minh and Khmer Issarak.
So Yuon handling the Khmer-yuon border under the name or CPP, not Khmer.
CPP are yuon mixed with former Khmer Vit Minh, Khmer Viet Congs running Cambodia:
So yuon handling border issue,not Khmer.
So yuon handling Preah Vihear Temple, not Khmer.
so yuon handling Khmer Rouge Trials or ECCC , not Khmer.
So Khmer economy has been in yuon hands.
It is all Youns' plan. Hun Xen just follows what Youns said.
