The Thais should withdraw from Preah Vihear this weekend

Cambodia and Thailand are expected to highly decrease their military presence around the disputed pagoda before the 18th of August.

The military authorities of both Kingdoms agreed that the Thai and Cambodian troops which are stationed around the Preah Vihear temple should be withdrawing, stated General Neang Phat, Secretary of State for Defence and Director of the Committee for the border dispute resolution of Preah Vihear, on Thursday the 14th of August.

The agreement was made following a meeting in Surin, Thailand, between Neang Phat, General Suchith Phiprapha, Commander of region II of Thailand and General Nithat Thonglek, Commander in Chief of the Royal Thai Army Forces.

These two countries should only leave “the strict minimum number of soldiers” at the border, a few dozens only, according to Neang Phat who didn’t want to communicate precise numbers.

Today, about 200 Thai soldiers are stationed at the pagoda which is located in the disputed area around the temple of Preah Vihear, said Neang Phat.

The withdrawal of troops should be done before the 18th of August, on the day of the expected meeting between Hor Nam Hong and his Thai counterpart.

The monks and nuns will still be authorised to enter the site.

Concerning the Ta Moan Thom temple, Neang Phat declared having been on the site after the meeting in Surin, during which the subject hadn’t been mentioned.

“I asked the Thai soldiers to take away the fences which they had put up, did he say. They should do so today [Thursday 14th of August].”

The Thai army returned on the site on the 9th of August, after having left it on the 5th of August.
