Natural Resources and Environment Minister Suwit Khunkitti is to meet with Unesco director-general Irina Bokova to express Thailand's concern over the Preah Vihear temple issue.
The meeting is scheduled for tomorrow in Paris, two days before the World Heritage Committee (WHC) opens its annual meeting in the Brazilian capital Brasilia.
Cambodia will propose a management plan for the Preah Vihear temple and its buffer zone to the meeting. Thailand opposes the plan on the grounds that sovereignty over the buffer zone, the 4.6 square kilometre disputed area claimed by the two countries, has not been settled.
Preah Vihear has been on Unesco's world heritage list since 2008.
