The second meeting of Cambodia-Siam Foreign Ministers Meeting in Siem Reap, 28 July 2008, is considered by both sides sucessful have not produced anything positive result yet. The number of troops stationed around Preah Vihear temple remained steady until 31, July 2008 since Siam troops entered illegally on Cambodia's soil.
It's acknowledged that the resolution will take time and patience. However, we are very concerned the current situation. Camboda don't want to see our sacred site were used as a hostage of conflict. We want to see the temple as a tourism destination and economic development area.
In reality, Siam government has no real intention to make compromise, they seem to provoke the war with us and still have the intention claiming Preah Vihear. Moreover, they use the temple case to raise the ultranationalism. As far as we have seen, Siam have a huge internal political matters amongs the different factions in the country.
Cambodia has the absolute advantages in term of public international law and diplomatic means . In regard to military strategy, although Cambodia's military equipment is weak and low, Cambodia's military strategy and will power is higher than Siam troops. For the good sake of the nation, Cambodia don't want to make a war with neighbor, make a peace in order to transform this areas to be a cooperation, development border.
Finally, I would say that the tension eases on condition that Siam has the real intention. In case of declaring war on us, Siam losts its prestige as a civilised nation and image as a democratic country and rule of law nation on the world. The international community will condemn.
Peace alwasy with us, God bless Cambodia and curse Siam.
