The Thai militaries agreed to evacuate the temple area and to withdraw to their territory subject to two conditions: that Cambodian soldiers also evacuate the zone and that guards can keep watch from time to time.
This new incident inspired comment from the spokesperson of the Council of Ministers. “Thailand is again invading, and as usual peaceful negotiations were held. The incident will be notified to the international community”, he explained.
