Natural Resources and Environment Minister Suwit Khunkitti has called on the World Heritage Committee to revoke the registration of Preah Vihear as a World Heritage Site in a bid to resolve the border conflict between Thailand and Cambodia.

“The World Heritage Committee should review its standpoint over the process to approve the registration of Preah Vihear Temple as a World Heritage Site,” he told senior officials of his ministry.

Suwit has shown a draft decision of the 35th World Heritage Committee meeting and a 3D model of Preah Vihear Temple and its compound to the press.
