Thailand waits for Cambodia’s pullout, Cambodia to hold joyous celebration
Thailand would not have to react as Cambodia has not shown any sign of its troop withdrawal, said Thai FM Tej Bunnag Thursday in response to Cambodian PM Hun Sen’s statement that it’s up to the Thai govt as to when to redeploy troops in the disputed area, according to Bangkok Post.
The Cambodian government has “not informed Thailand officially” when it will pull out its troops from the area, Tej said. “So far there is no official reaction from Cambodia.”
Such a reaction could be seen as another failure in bilateral negotiation between the two nations.
Meanwhile, Cambodia has planned to hold a lavish celebration at Preah Vihear temple Friday, Cambodian govt spokesman told DPA today. it will be attended by the country’s first lady, Bun Rany, and other high ranking officials.
“We are all in preparation for Bun Rany’s arrival. We have no security concerns because as a World Heritage site, the temple is a tourist destination, not a war zone,” Preah Vihear Deputy Governor Ka Lean said by telephone.
