BANGKOK, Aug 4 (MCOT online news) – Thailand's Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva on Wednesday said he was ready to assign his deputy Suthep Thaugsuban to hold talks with Cambodia on the Preah Vihear dispute if the Khmer leadership gives a positive signal for negotiation.
Following the Cabinet resolution, Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Suwit Khunkitti will form a committee to prepare information to argue against Cambodia’s attempt to propose temple management plan which the Thai government has made clear that its position is to protect national sovereignty.
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Commission (WHC) last week postponed discussing Cambodia's development-management plan for the ancient temple until next year when it meets in Bahrain.
The heritage committee decided to postpone discussion of the thorny issue because the two neighbouring countries could find no common ground to settle the disputed 4.6 sq km of lightly forested land near the temple which was granted world heritage status in 2008.
