An adviser to the Cambodian government says there will be no further negotiations with Thailand over withdrawing troops from around the disputed Preah Vihear Temple.
On Monday, the International Court of Justice in the Hague ordered troops from both sides to pull back from the border area.
The area has been the site of several fatal clashes since late 2008.
But Thailand’s outgoing Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva says bilateral negotiations will need to take place before Thai troops an be moved.
However Helen Jarvis, an adviser to the Cambodian Government, has told Radio Australia’s Connect Asia negotiations are unnecessary
“From the Cambodian side there’s no need for any more negotiations,” she said.
“The decision is clear, the demilitarised zone is very clearly marked on the map and as soon as the Indonesian observors arrive there’s no reason why the withdrawal can’t immediately take place”
