Cambodia puts opening of border gate on hold

Thai troops will remain in place in the 4.6-square-kilometre disputed area near the Preah Vihear temple until the border problems with Cambodia are resolved, Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva says.
Mr Abhisit yesterday denied a report that Thai troops were being withdrawn from the disputed area in Si Sa Ket province.
Cambodia responded to the announcement by saying it would postpone the opening of a border gate with Thailand near the temple.
Mr Abhisit said he had clearly stated that no soldiers would be pulled back as long as there was no resolution to the dispute.
