Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen and his Thai counterpart Abhisit Vejjajiva have agreed to meet again late October this year on the sidelines of the 17th ASEAN Summit in Hanoi, Vietnam in order to find ways to tackle the remaining problems, official news agency AKP reported on Wednesday, citing government official.
Hun Sen has held talks with Abhisit Vejjajiva on the sidelines of the 8th Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) held on Oct. 4-5 in Brussels, Belgium, AKP said.
It quoted Sry Thamrong, delegate minister attached to the prime minister, as saying that the two premiers have discussed about the redeployment of troops so that the situation could return to that before July 15, 2008 and both sides agreed to meet again in Hanoi in late October.
During the meeting in Brussels, Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva has informed Hun Sen that the Thai side had invited Cambodian Information Minister Khieu Kanharith and other Cambodian journalists to pay a visit in Thailand in mid October, Sry Thamrong was quoted as saying.
This was the second talks between the two leaders. The first one was held on Sept. 24 in New York which had helped to reduce the tension between the two neighboring countries and increase mutual trust.
Cambodia and Thailand has had border conflict just one week after Cambodia's Preah Vihear Temple was registered as World Heritage Site on 15 July 2008.
Since the conflict started, military standoff has been on and off along the two countries' border and several military clashes have already been happened with recorded small causalities from both sides.
The Cambodia-Thai border has never been fully demarcated, and Thailand continues to stake territorial claims of the 4.6 square kilometer area in the vicinity of the Temple of Preah Vihear, which the International Court of Justice on June 15, 1962 ruled in favor to Cambodia, saying Preah Vihear Temple is belonged to Cambodia.
