(BangkokPost.com) - Pongpol Adireksarn, the chairman of Thailand's World Heritage Committee, met Democrat party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva on Saturday morning to explain about issues concerning Preah Vihear temple.
Mr Pongpol said he had initiated the meeting, after he returned from Quebec, when a Unesco-sponsored meeting approved Preah Vihear as a World Heritage Site on request of the Cambodian government. He said he wanted to clarify the issue - indicating there may be a lot of misinformation around.
He insisted Thailand lost no sovereignty after the committee approved the listing of the Hindu temple.
Mr Pongpol said he would like to explain to Mr Abhisit all the facts to prevent any misunderstandings about the matter that could lead to national rifts.
