China calls on Thailand, Cambodia to solve dispute through dialogue

BEIJING, Oct. 16 (Xinhua) -- China expressed its concern about the ongoing
border conflict between Thailand and Cambodia, and hoped the two sides would
properly solve the dispute through dialogue, the Foreign Ministry said on
Thursday.
Ministry spokesman Qin Gang made the remarks at a regular press conference
here.
In July, tensions ran high after the ancient Preah Vihear Temple was
awarded world heritage status by UNESCO, angering Thai nationalists who still
claim ownership of the site.
The tension later turned into a military stalemate, in which up to 1,000
Cambodian and Thai troops faced off for six weeks. In mid- August, most of the
troops withdrew with only a few dozen soldiers stationed near the temple.
Bilateral talks to discuss withdrawing troops from around the temple were
postponed in late August amid the domestic political turmoil in Thailand.
Thai Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat said on Tuesday morning his country
could not pull out its troops from the disputed border area near Preah Vihear
Temple as demanded by Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen.
Cambodia is launching a wide ranging diplomatic campaign to solicit
international support. It has asked its ambassador to the United Nations to
inform the U.N. Security Council about the conflict.
Oct. 21, 1986 The UN General Assembly adopted a resolution A/RES/41/6, by vote
of 116-21 with 13 abstentions, calling for a withdrawal of Vietnamese forces
from Cambodia.

Thai-Cambodia dispute continuesFrom: [EMAIL PROTECTED] dispute continuesThu 16
Oct 2008, 9:53 GMTBy Chor SokuntheaPREAH VIHEAR, Cambodia (Reuters) - Thai and
Cambodian army commanders ended five hours of talks on Thursday with no
agreement to withdraw their forces after heavy fighting near a disputed
900-year old temple left two Cambodian soldiers dead."We did not make much
progress. Troops on both sides will stay where they are," Thai General
Wiboonsak Neeparn told reporters after returning to the Thai side of the
border. He said they had agreed on joint border patrols to ease tensions after
Wednesday's 40-minute gun and rocket battle, the worst clash in years between
the historic enemies.But his Cambodian counterpart, General Srey Doek, denied
any deal over the site, where soldiers backed by armour and artillery faced off
in an area controlled a decade ago by remnants of the Khmer Rouge, Pol Pot's
guerrilla army.The Hindu temple has stirred nationalist passions in both
countries for generations, but officials on both sides have toned down their
rhetoric since the fighting on Wednesday."Our policy to resolve this conflict
is through negotiations," Thai Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat told reporters
in Bangkok.Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen has kept silent, but his foreign
minister urged negotiations, saying the incident was between soldiers and "not
an invasion by Thailand."But people on the streets of Phnom Penh were angry."We
need to defend our land. We must not lose to the Thais," said security guard
Bun Roeun, 36, flicking through newspaper reports of the clashes. "If the Thais
continue their attempt to cross our border, I am ready to join the army to
fight back."The confrontation comes amid great political instability and an
economic slowdown in Thailand, as protesters in a long-running Bangkok street
campaign urge the army to launch a coup against the elected government."It's
hard to see how Cambodia gains from starting a war with Thailand at this
point," said Tony Kevin, a former Australian ambassador to Phnom Penh."But if
you look at the very tense and riven state of Thai politics, it's easy to see
how a Cambodian war could be of interest as a distraction," he said.China and
the United States expressed concern over the violence and urged both sides to
use restraint.DECADES-OLD DISPUTEPreah Vihear, or Khao Phra Viharn, as the
Thais call it, sits on a jungle-clad escarpment overlooking northern Cambodia
but has been accessible mainly only from Thailand.The International Court of
Justice awarded the temple to Cambodia in 1962, a ruling that has rankled Thais
ever since.The court failed to determine the ownership of 1.8 square miles (4.6
sq km) of scrub next to the stunning but remote Hindu ruins, which have been
off-limits to tourists for months.The dispute over this small parcel of land
became highly politicised in Thailand in July when protesters trying to
overthrow the Bangkok government adopted it as a cause.Bangkok has urged its
citizens to leave Cambodia, mindful of the 2003 torching of its embassy and
Thai businesses in Phnom Penh by a nationalist mob incensed by a row over
Angkor Wat, another ancient temple.In 2003, Thai commandos flew into Phnom Penh
airport in the middle of the night to help evacuate 600 Thais during the
riots.Security was beefed up outside the Thai embassy in Phnom Penh, but there
were no crowds outside and it was operating as normal, a Thai official told
Reuters.Several big Thai companies have operations in Cambodia and some have
pulled out Thai nationals, but they said operations were normal.Thailand's
political crisis has damaged consumer confidence and consumption at a time when
exports are sluggish due to the global economic slowdown.A top adviser to
Thailand's finance minister said on Wednesday the country risked sinking into
recession in the first half of 2009 if the political stalemate did not end
soon.(Additional reporting by Nopporn Wong-Anan in Kantaralak, Ek Madra in
