PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA, FEB 17, 2011-Cambodian Prime Minister on Thursday initiated the four -point proposal to build permanent ceasefire as road map towards peace for area near the Preah Vihear temple where Thai troops invaded Cambodian soil since 2008 July 15. Cambodia needs the situation there prior to July 15, 2008.
“We need to see the peaceful means and permanent ceasefire for border issues near the temple of Preah Vihear,” Samdech Hun Sen said.
PM Hun Sen proposed that firstly, Cambodia and Thailand must agree to cease fire permanently. It means that no further weapon eruption. Secondly, all troops along border do not mobilize. But they needs to stay in the station “not move into” waiting until the resolution on border demarcation. Thirdly, both sides encourage the frontier military commanders to discuss to ease tension. Fourthly, we ask to have the working group to monitor the permanent ceasefire from other eight ASEAN countries because it has been exchanging fire. Cambodia is not afraid of that.
The four point message was sent to Thai government through Deputy Prime Minister Sovankiri, who visited Cambodia to join the trade fair in Phnom Penh.
Thailand must stop using the own map to invade Cambodia soil,” He said, adding that Thailand failed to block the UN Security Council’s statement and call for the urgent meeting. Cambodia proposed the urgent meeting at the UN Security Council.
ASEAN FM meeting on Feb 22 will touch on that issue to have ceasefire permanently at the area near the temple. Thailand invaded Cambodia on July 15, 2008 after Cambodia enlisted the temple successfully with world heritage site. In 1962, the world court ruled that the temple belongs to Cambodia based on the border treaty in 1904-1907 that Thailand (Siam) and France (protectorate of Cambodia) inked the agreement.
