PHNOM PENH, March 4 (Xinhua) -- 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, reported 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 worship," 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 ownership of the temple by the International Court of Justice in 1962.
