Suwit proposes Unesco committee delay decision on Preah Vihear for another year; Cambodian team won't budge, says 'we have already given Thailand too much'
Natural Resources and Environment Minister Suwit Khunkitti made several attempts yesterday to block Cambodia's management plan for the Preah Vihear temple from the World Heritage Committee's consideration while the delegation from Phnom Penh stood firm.
Cambodia insisted on pushing forward with the plan, saying it had already given Thailand too much.
At press time last night, the World Heritage Committee had not yet considered the plan and Suwit hoped the committee would delay considering it for another year.
