A DECADES-OLD dispute between Thailand and Cambodia over ownership of a controversial temple could be settled in Bahrain.
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (Unesco) has agreed to consider a Cambodian plan for managing the temple, which is located on land claimed by both countries.
Unesco's World Heritage Commission is now expected to reach a decision on the Preah Vihear temple during its meeting in Bahrain next year.
Thailand claims Cambodia's plan jeopardises its claim to disputed territory and threatened to quit Unesco if it was endorsed during a meeting in Brazil last week.
