Mr. Chai Chidchob (L) greeted Mr. Heng Samrin on his arrival for the meeting at Parliament House.
But during a meeting with Prime Minister Hun Sen on the same afternoon, the subject of Thai troop withdrawals have not been brought up. Mr. Ieng Sophalleth, spokesman for Prime Minister Hun Sen, told reporters that the pair only discussed about easing the military tensions along the borders. Mr. Sophalleth quoted Mr. Chi Chidchob as saying: "The Thai government will make efforts to ease the military tensions along the Khmer-Thai borders and he also proposed for strengthening of good cooperations between the two countries."
Mr. Sophalleth also quoted Mr. Hun Sen as responding that Cambodia will also make great efforts to avoid armed clashes along the borders.
At the same time as leaders from the two countries are discussing about easing border tensions, news from Preah Vihear indicated that the Thai military had sent more weaponry and troop reinforcements to Hill 500 while the Cambodian military responded by sending more troops to the area as well. The situations have been tense in the area.
Mr. Phay Siphan, spokesman for the Council of Ministers, told reporters that what Cambodia wants to see is the Thai parliament ratifying all agreements about border delimitation and demarcations signed by the Thai parliament. He said in the spirit of the agreements Thailand should have withdrawn its troops a long time ago.
Mr. Rong Chhun, president of the Cambodian Independent Teachers Association who had staged severals protests against Thai violations of Cambodian territories, said he is unable to organise a protest this time because he is on mission to the provinces.

Mr. Heng Samrin has done the right thing by asking Thailand to withdraw its troops from Cambodian territories. Mr. Hun Sen is a useless and coward PM. He should have used the occasion to press the Thais for a withdrawal. He has said in the past that every time he meet the Thai leaders he will always press them to withdraw troops. What is going on here. Are you chicken, Mr. Hun Sen?
It's going to take more than Heng Samrin to pry Thailand's ass to withdraw from Preah Vihear. It's going to take American to tell Thailand to withdraw. If Mrs. Clinton had done her homework, she should be able to help resolve this nonsense issue brought on by Thailand.
Will, I guess this is all bullshit that they are playing. It's the government things to do. If they are very serious, I think we should just take it as an all out war between the idiotic Thai's. All this government care for is money and playing their games. Let just say that they are playing the game of (how far can we go, and how much money can we get or waste).
That was well put it Mr. Heng Samrin. They should be out of our territory a long time ago, but they are very cunning, back stabbing, and so forth. They would never let us live in peace, they will always waiting to put the sword through us. We in turn should starts doing the same like them. Maybe it's time for us to act tough and starts fighting back, and stop playing cat and mouse.
