(BangkokPost.com) – Foreign Minister Noppadon Pattama has disclosed that Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej managed to discuss the issue on Preah Vihear temple with his Cambodian counterpart on the sidelines, whilst attending the Greater Mekong Sub-region summit.
“Thailand is not against Cambodia’s proposal to list Preah Vihear temple as a UNESCO World Heritage site as long as the surrounding land is not included as part of the request," he said. "I’m sure there won’t be any problems if we come to an agreement that Thailand will not be forced to give up land to Cambodia as a result of this request.”
Mr Samak also reportedly met with Chinese leader Wen Jiabao where he expressed full support for the Olympics 2008 which China will be hosting. Mr Samak vowed to do his best to ensure that the Olympics flame passes Thailand without a hitch.
