Cambodia to comply with ICJ ruling: Hor Namhong
Cambodians will agree and comply with the International Court of Justice (ICJ)'s judgement over the Preah Vihear temple, whatever it is, the verdict would not jeopardy the relations with Thailand, Cambodia Foreign Minister Hor Namhong said Monday.
In a joint statement after a meeting with Thai counterpart Surapong Tovichakchaikul, he said both sides agreed to step up necessary measures to maintain peace and stability along the border.
“Cambodia understands that the disputed area near the Preah Vihear is a small piece of land. We don’t allow this tiny issue to affect our long cooperation and close relations of the two countries. People of the two countries should protect our friendship,” Hor Namhong said in the press briefing after the meeting.
