Thai Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya said Friday that the special envoy from UNESCO asked Thailand and Cambodia to hold talks before the next UNESCO meeting in Paris.
Speaking at a press conference after the latest round of border clash between the two countries, Kasit unveiled that Koichiro Matsuura, the United Nations Educational, Science and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) special envoy, called for the two countries to hold bilateral dialogue before the UNESCO world heritage meeting in May.
He said Thailand agreed with the suggestion on condition that consideration of the management plan of the disputed Preah Vihear Temple should be postponed until border demarcation is fully completed.
The relation between Thailand and Cambodia has been even more strained since UNESCO listed the 900-year-old Preah Vihear Temple as the World Heritage Site in 2008. Last year, Thai delegation protested against Cambodia's proposed management plan for the temple, resulting in the UNESCO meeting in Brazil postponing the decision.
Thailand and Cambodia blamed each other for triggering the deadly clash on Friday morning in disputed border areas in Pa Nom Dong Rak district of Thailand's Surin province, killing at least three soldiers from each side.

Hun Sen and Nguyen Tan Dong provoked the fight on the Cambodian-Thai border so more businesses can be signed to Vietnam.
Poor Cambodia to have such lousy neighbor with such aggressive bull dog mentality.
The Thai general Prayuth Ocha and the rest of the Thai military will not rest until they cause much suffering as possible on Cambodian civilians. These blood thirsty hound dogs must be contained at all cost.
Thai society is very polarized, political divisions run deep. The wounds caused by the Thai military will not be easily healed.
Now these hawkish Thai generals with the backing of the Thai monarchy want to expand its destructive behavior to its neighbor.
These savage Thais have no restrains. The world must take note of their recent behaviors and condemn these vicious beasts.
These clashes will not find any solution for any dispute so they have to sit and talk with each other then they can find a good and peaceful solution for this situation.
