The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)'s World Heritage Committee (WHC) on Thursday postponed the discussion on Cambodia’s management plan for the Preah Vihear temple to its meeting next year in Bahrain.
The issue was expected to be on the agenda of the 21-member WHC meeting Wednesday, but the group decided to drop the issue as the plan was not submitted in accordance with its standard procedures.
Cambodia should have handed its plan six months ahead of the meeting, but it made its submission less than 24 hours before the meeting began.
Natural Resources and Environment Minister Suwit Khunkitti, who leads the Thai delegation, said from Brazil where the meeting is taking place that the postponement is a satisfactory result.
