Heritage
March 04, 2008
Thailand has no objections to Cambodia's listing Preah Vihear Temple
as a World Heritage site, Cambodian Information Minister Khieu
Kanharith was quoted as saying by Tuesday's national newspapers.
The Thai prime minister has reaffirmed their stands when talked with
his Cambodian counterpart Hun Sen for around an hour, re****ted English-
Khmer language daily newspaper the Mekong Times.
"We have not yet to register the whole resort (as the world heritage
site) because Preah Vihear temple is located on the three peaks and
there remains controversy over border issue in some places. So, we
list only the temple which is used for wor****p," Hun Sen explained to
Samak Sundaravej during their meeting, said Cambodian language daily
newspaper the Rasmei Kampuchea.
Khieu Kanharith told another Cambodian newspaper the Kampuchea Thmey
that he hoped that the Thai leader's reiteration would pave the way
for Cambodia to seek registration of Preah Vihear temple as UNESCO
World Heritage site in a meeting to be held in Canada in six months.
Cambodia was granted owner****p of the temple by the International
Court of Justice in 1962.
