Thailand, Cambodia to discuss Phra Vihear issue |
|
Weerasak Futrakul, permanent secretary to Thailand's Foreign Ministry has reportedly been appointed to hold talks with deputy prime minister Sok An of Cambodia on Tuesday to discuss the controversy over making the Phra Vihear temple a Unesco heritage site.
Both parties claim they want to find a solution to rights to a controversial piece of land spanning which surrounds the temple. The temple is Cambodia, but land around it is still in dispute.
The Thai government has offered its full support for Cambodia's proposal to register the temple as a Unesco World Heritage site but plans to propose that a contract be drawn up.
If both governments are unable to reach a deal on the issue Tuesday, they may consider delaying the talks to a later date.
