Cambodia should withdraw all border dispute cases from international bodies and return to talks with Thailand, says Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva.

Mr Abhisit said his Cambodian counterpart Hun Sen should first show good will by withdrawing his country’s request that the International Court of Justice (ICJ) interpret its 1962 ruling on Preah Vihear temple.

Cambodia has also put forward a management plan for the disputed 4.6-square-kilometre area around the temple to Unesco’s World Heritage Committee (WHC). Mr Abhisit said it should withdraw that as well.

“If Cambodia agrees and returns to talks with Thailand, both countries will benefit,” said Mr Abhisit.
