Troops at disputed temple not yet reduced

(BangkokPost.com) - The number of Thai and Cambodian troops stationed near Preah Vihear temple has yet reduced after both sides earlier agreed to lower the number of military personnel to 10 personnel each.

However, the situation around the 11th century Hindu temple is still normal and not tense, as soldiers from both countries are closely monitoring the situation while avoiding confronting each other.

Thai Foreign Minister Tej Bunnag and his Cambodian counterpart Hor Namhong are scheduled to have a meeting to end the ongoing border dispute in Hua Hin district, Prachuap Khiri Khan province on August 18 and 19.
