Noppadon to visit Paris next week to discuss Preah Vihear registration

May 19, 2008

Foreign Minister Noppadon Pattama said Sunday that he would attend a meeting of the Unesco World Heritage Committee on Thursday and Friday.

He said he would attend the meeting to discuss the dispute over Cambodia's attempt to register the Preah Vihear Temple as a World Heritage site.

Thailand is opposing the attempt on ground that the ruins were located on a disputed land at Thailand's border.

Noppadon said he hopes to reach an agreement for mutual benefits with Cambodia over the issue.
