Wednesday, 25 August 2010 04:26 DAP NEWS / VIBOL
CAMBODIA, PHNOM PENH, AUGUST 25, 2010-The Cambodian foreign ministry announced on Wednesday that its ambassador arrived in Bangkok this morning to resume her position.
“Ambassador You Ay arrived in Bangkok in the past few hours,” Koy Khuong , spokesman of foreign ministry said.
Cambodia sent ambassador back to Bangkok today after Thai ambassador arrived here yesterday evening.
The diplomatic ties cut off after Thailand recalled its ambassador back to Bangkok when Cambodia side appointed former Thai PM Thaksin as economic advisor. But at that time, Cambodia told Thai side to open eyes to see the background of the border conflict.
Cambodia and Thailand resume their relation but the main issue now; Thai troops have to return to their stations prior to July 15, 2008 near 11th Khmer Preah Vihear temple.
The day that Thai troops arrived at the area near the temple and that time is second time after Thai military unit needed the temple but Thailand lost the case of the temple at the international court of justice. In 1962, the temple was awarded to Cambodia through verdict of ICJ.
The military escalation at the temple occurred after Thai military unit used the own and secret map to invade Cambodia’s sovereignty near temple. That kind of manner is like German leader Hilter used the map to occupy the polish territory and invaded Poland in the beginning of the world war two.
