The troops adjustment at Preah Vihear Temple hinges on gov't instruction

Army chief General Anupong Paochinda said on Tuesday that the military will proceed to adjust the border deployment at Preah Vihear Temple after the government has issued the instruction on the matter.

Anupong said he was duty-bound to await the instruction rather than rush to effect changes. He was referring to the Monday's agreement between Thailand and Cambodia to reposition troops so as to ease tensions.

The Cabinet is expected to debate later today on the outcome of the Monday's talks between Thai and Cambodian foreign ministers.
