BANGKOK, Dec 1 (MCOT online news) -- Thai troops stationed at the Thai-Cambodian border in Si Sa Ket province will not be redeployed after Cambodia reportedly plans to reopen the border gate at the 11th century Preah Vihear temple this weekend, according to Acting Government Spokesman Panitan Wattanayagorn.
Dr Panitan, who is also deputy secretary to the premier, said Defence Minister Gen Prawit Wongsuwan has informed Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva that there will be no troop re-deployment at the Thai-Cambodian border.
The number of soldiers will remain the same and the prime minister has stressed that if the talks between Thailand and Cambodia cannot agree on the contested area, the Thai troop level would remain the same at the border, he said.
Cambodia is reportedly rearranging its forces in the area to a more relaxed situation and the move signals a good sign to Thailand that the talks may progress to ease tensions, Dr Panitan said, adding that some Cambodian have moved from the temple and communities in the contested area.
