Cambodia on Wednesday welcomed meetings with Thailand before troop withdrawals from the surrounding area of the 11th century Preah Vihear temple.
"Cambodia does not kick out either General Border Committee meeting or Joint Border Committee meeting with Thailand ahead of the troop pullout," Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister and minister of foreign affairs and international cooperation Hor Namhong told reporters at the Phnom Penh International Airport upon his arrival from The Hague, the Netherlands.
"But I think that the new Thai government will take office soon, so the caretaker government Abhisit Vejjajiva has no time to talk on this issue."
He said Cambodia hopes that the new Thai government in coming weeks probably can negotiate on it.
The deputy PM's remarks came after Thai caretaker Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said on Tuesday Thailand is seeking talks with Cambodia before it honors the order of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to withdraw troops from the disputed area next to the Preah Vihear temple.
