Thailand is unlikely to convince Cambodia to defer its management plan for the Preah Vihear temple during a planned meeting in Paris tomorrow.
Koichiro Matsuura, special envoy for the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (Unesco), has invited the two countries to hold two days of bilateral talks in the French capital to try to settle their dispute over the plan.
In a statement issued on Sunday, Phnom Penh insisted it would stick to the World Heritage Committee’s schedule to consider the management plan next month.
The WHC has scheduled its 35th session for June 19 and 20 and Cambodia’s controversial management plan for the Preah Vihear temple is on the agenda.
