Koichiro Matsuura, the special envoy of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) said Tuesday afternoon his visit to Thailand and Cambodia on the issue of Preah Vihear temple come to a successful end.
“It’s a very fruitful mission. I am very happy about that,” Matsuura told reporters at Phnom Penh International Airport before leaving for Japan.
During a meeting with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen on Monday, Matsuura told the premier that UNESCO would send its experts to evaluate and restore Preah Vihear temple in the future.
Asking at the airport on Tuesday, Matsuura did not say when UNESCO will send its experts to evaluate the temple’s damages caused by more than 400 mortar and artillery shells fired by Thai troops in the clashes on Feb. 4-7.
