Phnom Penh: Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen on Monday reiterated that Cambodia could not remove Cambodia’s national flag at Keo Sikha Kirisvara pagoda as Thailand demanded.
Addressing to graduated students in Phnom Penh, PM Hun Sen said that the flag was completely in Cambodian territory according the International Court of Justice (ICJ) verdict dated June 15, 1962.
“We are defending our territory, we don’t want any piece of Thailand,” he said. “Although Thailand gives us [Cambodia] a piece of land, we don’t want it, and via versa.”
Cambodia and Thailand have exchanged gun fire for four day since Feb 4, 2011.
However, Cambodian Premier called on the intervention of United Nations Security Council to put an end to a 30-month-military standoff between the two nations after UN’ World Heritage Commission conclude the 11th century temple to the world heritage site in July 7, 2008. And he said that he was ready to send his foreign affair minister to the UNSC.
