Military attachés from more than 10 embassies in Phnom Penh will visit the Preah Vihear temple and the surrounding border area tomorrow, a military spokesperson told The Post today.
“We will show the delegation the damages, which were caused by shooting from mortar shells from Thailand during the fighting from February 4 to 7,” said Lieutenant General Chhum Socheat, spokesman for the Ministry of Defence.
Chhum Socheat said the Ministry of Defence would lead the delegation, which he added follows on the heels of a similar visit by military attachés to the Thai side of the border organised by the Thai military.
