PM Abhisit may discuss temple row with PM Hun Sen at Brussels ASEM conference [-Another Thai trick to avoid the International intervention?]

BANGKOK, Aug 22 (MCOT online news) - Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said Sunday he may have an opportunity to confer on the ancient Preah Vihear temple problem with his Cambodian counterpart Prime Minister Hun Sen during the Asia-Europe (ASEM) Summit to be held in Brussels in October.

Mr Hun Sen earlier wrote to the United Nations and other international bodies, urging their intervention to help settle the dispute with Thailand over the border temple and nearby disputed territory claimed by both countries.

But Mr Abhisit on Sunday reiterated Thailand's view that the problem could be resolved by the two neighbouring countries themselves, without outside help, even from members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

Mr Abhisit said he may have a chance to discuss the problem during the ASEM summit without the involvement of any international organisation third country official.
