Unesco special envoy ‘supports Thai stance’
Cambodia’s temple plan may have to be put off
Unesco says it will be difficult to consider Cambodia’s proposed world heritage management plan for the Preah Vihear temple given the current tense situation, the Thai Foreign Ministry says.
The Unesco special envoy on the Preah Vihear issue, Koichiro Matsuura, who is also a former Unesco director-general, yesterday met Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva and Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya at Government House to hear about the problems between Thailand and Cambodia.
Thailand was his first leg before he heads to Cambodia tomorrow.
