Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said Sunday that his government would spend the next year in making preparations to fight against Cambodia's management plan of the Preah Vihear world heritage site.

The consideration of the management plan has been delayed for a year by the Unesco World Heritage Committee.

Speaking during his weekly TV programme on NBT, the prime minister said he had seen a copy of the management plan and his government would make preparations to dispute it.

He said he had not changed his stand, which he had when he was the opposition leader to oppose Cambodia's unilateral registering Preah Vihear as a world heritage site.

He said he had never accepted that Thailand had overlapping plot with Cambodia near the ruined Hindu temple, indicating that he regarded the plot belonged to Thailand.
