Indonesian Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa presented the initiative to his Cambodian and Thai counterparts, Hor Namhong and Kasit Piromya, respectively, during a trilateral meeting held in this capital, the Antara News Agency reported.
The proposal establishes measures to achieve a negotiated solution to the dispute and the deployment of Indonesian observers in conflict zones.
"We will identify the points required to achieve an approach, rather than ask one of the two countries to act a certain way in response to a step taken by the other," said Natalegawa.
Natalegawa added that the initial gesture for bringing about the easing of tension should be performed in unison to avoid arguments about which of the two countries have the obligation to move first.
According to Natalegawa, the program sets a specific timetable for the completion of each stage and bilateral meetings.
Now the two foreign ministers will return to their countries and report to their prime ministers on this proposal, and Natalegawa said he looked forward to hearing about it soon.
The talks followed those started yesterday between the president of Indonesia, Susilo Bambang, and the prime ministers of Cambodia and Thailand, Hun Sen and Abhisit Vejjajiva, respectively, in the framework of the summit meeting of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
The two countries have clashed six times since 2008, when Preah Vihear was declared a Unesco World Heritage Site.

The new policy of Hun Sen regime today is to kill all Ex Khmer Rouge because they are the true Khmer patriot that can be harmful to Hun Sen regime as Vietnam slave.
Hun Sen regime sends all Ex Khmer rouge soldiers to frontline fighting with Thai army without enough weapons and foods. Hun Sen ordered the front line army do not fire back to Thai Army while they bomb Ex Khmer Rouge over 50 000 shells. These actions are representing very clear that Hun Sen is trying to clear or kill all Ex Khmer Rouge army by using Thai hands.
The true and real Khmer patriots are the enemy of Hun Sen regime. Vietnam is scare of Ex Khmer Rouge Soldiers as they have been defeat Vietnam army (Over 100 000 Vietnam soldiers have been killed by EX Khmer Rouge Army in Cambodia. That is lead to Vietnam withdraw out of Cambodia) before 1993.
That one is not khmer be careful all khmer
That one is real thai murderous
