Cambodia, Thailand strike deal on troop pullout
Round 2 negotiation between Cambodia and Thailand has, after 12 hours of talks, been concluded with both sides’ agreement to withdraw troops from the disputed area, according to DPA, AP.
DPA did not mention it; AP reported 1,200 will be pulled out, 800 Cambodian troops and 400 Thai. A comprehensive schedule was not set. But both sides would establish a task force for the recall of troops, DPA reported.
“We cannot solve all problems at one meeting. We need to take gradual steps,” said Cambodian Foreign Minister Hor Namhong (AP), adding, “the immediate task is to avoid clashes through the redeployment of troops.”
Both Cambodian and Thai FM agreed to hold further meetings to discuss border demarcation. But again, no set date.
