Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen has announced on Saturday that Cambodia welcomes Indonesia's convening of a meeting between Cambodian and Thai defence ministers to try to find a solution to the ongoing border conflict between the two countries, but he also said that Cambodia had already rejected a Thai proposal for a bilateral meeting of the Joint Boundary Commission (JBC) in March or April.
Thai Defence Minister Prawit Wongsuwan was quoted by Bangkok Post as saying that Thailand is still waiting for Cambodia's reply to the proposal for a bilateral discussion about the deployment of Cambodian and Thai troops as well as the deployment of the Indonesian observers, but Cambodia said it had rejected that proposal already.
Mr. Hun Sen said that Cambodia agrees to a meeting in Jakarta because Indonesia would act as a mediator and all agreements must be recorded by the mediator. Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva insisted that the meeting will be bilateral, saying that the meeting of the 10 Asean foreign ministers on 22nd February had also agreed for the two countries to negotiate bilaterally.
Cambodia opposed to bilateral talks because it said that Thailand had never honoured any agreements resulted from bilateral talks for the last two years. Minutes and agreements from the previous three meetings are still waiting for approval by the Thai parliament and they had been apparently shelved or indefinitely postponed by the Thai parliament, as such both side cannot implement those agreements.
As of Saturday, Cambodian military sources said that the situations at the Preah Vihear border remain calm, but a Cambodian soldier who spoke on condition of anonymity said that Cambodia had deployed more artillery pieces to boost up its defence against the Thai side which had also reinforced more troops and deployed more artillery pieces in the areas.

you are not Rainsy but you are rainsy supporter. I am sorry to Khmerization.
To the 9:02 you know alote of what is going on in Cambodia and your comments are sound good to SRP supporter I believe you are lives in oversea. You, me and some of our reader in this blog or KI blog are try to make our opinion ben heard, that was good piont but if we forcus too much on nagetive or wrong doing we didn't see or learn the positive from each other, to be fair we must mak it balance betweent Mr. Rainsy and Mr. Hun sen. we know Hunsen did alote of mistake in the past but people can learn from past experiences, now he doing the right thing for our nation. if you are runing your own business or runing the country ero are ineviable, as well as Rainsy runing SRP today. We must gave credit to superior side of our leader both of them. I am very bussy man but I did see KI and some Rainsy supporter are outragest and put their wrong believe on past experience and fale futur vision created by rainsy. in the Past Youn tooke Khmer krom, he arouse anger agianst youn and HUn sen, in the futur he put vision that for us to imagine that all Khmer next generation will have no land for their children he arouse, arouse, and arouse anger against Youn and hun sen, thise kinds of ideosensory very dangerouse used by Hitler and mosuliny, and Rainsy he work for Thai that for real. The thai if they wand to invade our country they put stratergy 5 to 10 years ahead, by first destroy our allian vietnam, then separet us and at last Thai will destroy us now you clearly see Thai supported Ki, and double agent rainsy stratergy are working very well, wasn't it true?. who are the real trator? Rainsy was, wasn't he? Mike
if we arouse anger not against Hun sen but against Thai, thai fougth with us over 700 years, not veitnam, viet never fought with Khmer
Mike at 11:23 AM and Mike at 11:50 AM, Hun Sen is the real traitor, Rainsy is not a traitor because he is not in power and never sold out to any foreign country. Khmer fought with Thailand for nearly 800 years and Vietnam fought with Khmer longer than that, from Tonkin down to Cochinchina, that's why we lost Kampuchea Krom in around 1623. Everyone Know that we lost Kampuchea Krom to Vietnam and have you heard of "Kompoup Te Ong" story? Hun Sen committed a lot of mistakes in the past because he was a Khmer Rouge commander and he committed a lot mistakes now because he is a traitor and a puppet of Vietnam. Land-grab, human rights abuses, corruption and many more. I know that and you know that, but why you still support him and always curse the real patriot like Sam Rainsy. If you have a personal problems with Rainsy then it is not appropriate to let your anger out at him in this blog. Rainsy is not a Thai puppet, but Hun sen is a real Vietnam puppet and a real traitor. I know you live in America, so if you think Hun Sen is the best then why did you escape to live in America? You should live under Hun Sen's regime if you think it is a good regime. The fact that you escaped from Hun Sen's regime proved that you hate the regime or you don't like the regime. Just tell me how you escape to America? By claiming you are a Rainsy supporter so you can claim political asylum there, but in fact you are a Hun Sen supporter? If somebody report you to U.S immigration, they can deport you back to Cambodia for false claim.
