No progress after four-hours talk

The General Border Committee meeting to bring the border stand-off between Thailand and Cambodia due to the dispute over Preah Vihear Temple to a bilateral negotiation has started on Monday.





Supreme Commander Gen Boonsrang Niampradit represents the Thai government to talk to Cambodian Defence Minister Gen Tea Banh in the GBC meeting at Indochina Hotel in Sa Kaeo.

Both sides took a recess to have lunch after four hours of negotiation that has seen no progress. Boonsrang and Tea are expected to announce the result of their talk at a press conference, a source said.

Thailand has focused the meeting on withdrawing military  forces by both sides from the buffer zone to reduce tensions.

More than 1,500 border patrol police threw a blanket of security setting checkpoints along border roads amid fears that the People's Alliance for Democracy could disrupt the meeting.
