The Cambodian–Thai border issue should be one of the items on the agenda of the meeting, according to the spokesman of the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Prime Minister Hun Sen will meet with his Thai counterpart, Somchai Wongsawat, during the seven Asean–European Union summit in Beijing on October 24-25. He should also take this opportunity to meet His Majesty the King Father Norodom Sihanouk, undergoing medical treatment in the Chinese capital.
The meeting with Somchai is planned for October 24 and will deal with the border dispute according to Koy Kuong, the spokesman for the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
The day before in Siem Reap, the regional commanders of the two countries will meet to discuss the redeployment of troops stationed inside and around the Preah Vihear pagoda.
According to an agreement between both countries, ten soldiers of each country are fanned out inside the pagoda and 20 outside.
On October 15, the day of the skirmishes, 13 Thai soldiers were taken prisoner though they were later released. Since then ten Thai soldiers have taken back their positions inside the pagoda but none are stationed around the building.
