Cambodia's Defence Ministry says it has reduced the number of troops deployed around an ancient border temple that has been the scene of several clashes with Thai troops.
The two countries dispute the frontier around the 11th century Preah Vihear temple in Cambodia since the ruins were granted UN World Heritage status in July 2008.
The Cambodian statement says it's reduced troops numbers in the region by 50 percent showing that the situation at the border is improving.
Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen said last week that Thailand had just 30 soldiers on the border, meaning that Cambodia could send some of its troops back to their provincial bases.
