(BangkokPost.com) - Prime Minister and Defence Minister Samak Sundaravej said his meeting with Cambodia’s Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Tea Banh on Tuesday afternoon led to a better understanding on the disputed border around Preah Vihear temple.
Mr Samak said there are no problems between Thailand and Cambodia any longer, and both sides agreed to gradually remove all their troops stationed around the ancient temple. The two countries also plan to promote the site as a tourism destination without having soldiers around the area, so they can mutually benefit from it, he added.
Following the discussion on Burma with UN special envoy Ibrahim Gambari, the premier said Mr Gambari plans to propose the idea of having a third party to oversee the election in Cambodia at the UN meeting this September.
