Thailand says it is committed to a peaceful resolution of its border dispute with Cambodia, but it has fended off the idea of maintaining the area around the Preah Vihear temple as a jointly administered zone. The comments come a day after the Thai government renewed a demand that Cambodia remove a flag on a temple in the disputed area and also pull down the temple itself. Both Thailand and Cambodia have agreed that nothing would be built while a joint boundary commission surveyed the disputed land. Thailand insists the Cambodian temple was erected after the memorandum of understanding was signed in 2000.
