The Preah Vihear ruins on the Thai-Cambodian border will be opened after the New Year and Thailand should also open its side of the border so people can visit the ancient temple, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen told visiting Thai army chief Gen Prayuth Chan-ocha in Phom Penh on Tuesday.
Gen Prayuth returned to Thailand today after a two-day visit.
Apart from the opening of Preah Vihear temple and the Thai border, Hun Sen also said demarcation of the common border of the two countries should be carried out as soon as possible, Bangkok Post military correspondent Wassana Nanuam reported.
"Since we are neighbours and cannot move away from each other, we should cooperate and stay together in peace.
"Thailand and Cambodia are like a tongue and teeth which must be in contact. It is not right that the teeth must be removed if the tongue is bitten," the Cambodian prime minister said to Gen Prayuth.
