Temple row [between Cambodia and Thailand] goes to talks

Defence Minister Sukumpol Suwanatat and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen are expected to discuss implementation of the International Court of Justice's provisional measures on the border dispute today. Their meeting is scheduled to take place this evening in Phnom Penh during ACM Sukumpol's two-day trip to Cambodia, which begins today.
The defence minister is leading a 20-member delegation to attend the Asean Defence Ministers' Meeting.
A defence source said Phnom Penh wants Thailand to observe the provisional measures by withdrawing its troops and replacing them with border patrol police.
The ICJ has ruled that the two countries must withdraw their troops from a 17.3 sq km demilitarised zone and asked Indonesian observers to monitor the process.
The provisional measures were issued pending review of the ICJ's 1962 verdict that the 4.6 sq km disputed area near Preah Vihear temple was in Cambodian territory.
