PHNOM PENH, Feb. 14 (Xinhua) — The Press and Quick Reaction Unit of the Office of the Council of Ministers of Cambodia has issued a statement on Monday rejecting “the false statement of Thai Premier Abhisit Vejjajiva on Preah Vihear temple.”

The statement said that the Bangkok Post on Feb. 11 reported, and which was also published in the National News Bureau of Thailand, that “Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva asks UNESCO to remove the temple of Preah Vihear from the World Heritage List, claiming that the delisting of the temple of Preah Vihear would remove tensions between Cambodia and Thailand.

The statement “strongly rejected the false statement of Thai prime minister”, saying that the “real tension has been caused by Thailand’s long-standing territorial invasion”.
