BANGKOK, July 30 (Bernama) -- The postponement of the Unesco World Heritage Committee's decision on the Preah Vihear Temple management plan to next year, will enable Thailand and Cambodia to seek a solution to the overlapping territorial claim adjacent to the temple.
Deputy Prime Minister in Charge of Security Matters Suthep Thaugsauban said today it would be good for Thailand and Cambodia to go to the negotiation table and solve the problem during that time.
The World Heritage Committee meeting in Brasilia, Brazil, last night was postponed to next year in Bahrain, following Thailand's opposition to the management plan.
Thailand threatened to resign from the World Heritage Committee if the meeting went ahead and approved the management plan for the 11th century Hindu temple submitted by Phnom Penh.
