Thailand and Cambodia will redeploy an unspecified number soldiers currently stationed in disputed areas around Preah Vihear temple. The move will take place on Wednesday to mark the one-year anniversary of the International Court of Justice's (ICJ) order for both sides to withdraw troops from the area.
The two nations' planned troop redeployment was confirmed yesterday by Defence Minister Sukumpol Suwanatat who on Friday accompanied Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra to attend talks with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen in Siem Reap.
