Foreign ministers from Cambodia and Thailand have agreed to intensify efforts to mark the border around a disputed temple.
At the weekend, up to 1,000 Cambodian and Thai troops pulled back from confronting each other on a small patch of disputed land near Cambodia's 11th-century Preah Vihear temple.
Twenty troops from both sides are stationed at a small pagoda in the contentious border area, while 40 Cambodian and Thai solders remain nearby.
After a day of talks the ministers announced a border committee will meet in October to draw a boundary around the temple.
Military officials will meet later this month to discuss a further pullback of troops.
The two countries say they will solve the problem peacefully, in friendship and under the law.
