Thailand, Cambodia to cooperate on Preah Vihear
BANGKOK, Dec. 28 (PNA/VNA) -- Thailand would maintain cooperation with
Cambodia over the historic and controversial Hindu temple, new Thai
Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya said.
"In general, it is our intention to cooperate with Cambodia and the
UNESCO (United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural
Organisation)," the Foreign Minister was quoted by The Nation of
Thailand as saying.
The minister said Thailand should have a representative in the
International Coordinating Committee (ICC) to protect and develop
Cambodia's Preah Vihear.
He added that he would not change previous foreign ministry
resolutions with Phnom Penh.
The Preah Vihear case would be handled in line with the 1904 and 1907
Siam-Franco treaties, the 1962 International Court of Justice (ICJ)
ruling and the 2000 Memorandum of Understanding on boundary
demarcation, he said.
The ICJ ruled in 1962 that the Preah Vihear belonged to Cambodia but
the surrounding land -and access to it- have remained in dispute. (PNA/
