A Cambodia heritage official said that Unesco is expected to provide emergency fund for the repair of damages to Preah Vihear temple caused by Thai artillery shells during armed clashes from 4-7 February.
Mr. Chuch Phoeung, chairman of the Preah Vihear National Authority, said Unesco's special envoy Koichiro Matsuura (pictured) and diplomats from countries that are members of the Unesco Permanent Committee will be flown by helicopter to Preah Vihear temple on Tuesday 1st March to inspect the damages caused by fighting between Cambodian and Thai troops. "According to the plan, on 1st March we will fly the Unesco special envoy (Koichiro Matsuura) and diplomats from countries that are members of Unesco Permanent Committee (to Preah Vihear temple). But I don't know the exact number of diplomats who will be flown there", he said.
Mr. Phay Siphan, spokesman for the Council of Ministers, said the trip of the Unesco special envoy to Preah Vihear is more of a diplomatic mission than a technical mission. "The visit of His Excellency (Koichiro Matsuura) the representative of Her Excellency (Irina Bokova, Unesco Director-General) is more of a diplomatic mission than a technical mission. As we have known, he is coming to assess the political situation under the obligation of the 1954 Geneva Convention as well as the 1972 Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage as well as world heritage sites", he said.
Mr. Koichiro Matsuura is expected to arrive in Phnom Penh this afternoon, 27th February, and is scheduled to meet with Prime Minister Hun Sen and Deputy Prime Minister Sok An, who is in charge of heritage affairs.
Cambodian heritage officials based at the site said during the armed clashes from 4-7 February, Thai soldiers had fired many rounds of 155mm, 130mm, 105mm artillery shells as well 410 rounds of cluster bombs at Preah Vihear temple, causing substantial damages to the temple structures.
The Preah Vihear National Authority said it is expected that Unesco will provide emergency fund for the repair of the temple damages in accordance with the 1972 convention.

I thought the damn Siem said there will be no visit from the envoy at PV. That monkey Kasit Piromya is a liar and nothing come out of his mouth are truthful. Damn ape.
Yes, the Thais are still opposed to the visit to Preah Vihear temple by Unesco envoy, but Preah Vihear temple is a Cambodian temple located inside Khmer territory, so why Cambodia needs to listen to Thai demand. Whether Thailand like it or not, the visit must go ahead. Thailand don't want Unesco to go there because it doesn't want Unesco to see its crimes and aggression first hand.
Unesco tried to be liar with the group of liar people.
