The plan to meet between Cambodian and Thai troops on Monday was aborted and there was no meeting between the commander of Cambodian [army] region 4 with his Thai counterpart from region 2. The Thai commander of region 2 told local Thai news media at the end of last week that there will be a meeting on Monday 13 July between the commanders of Cambodian region 4 and Thai region 2. The goal of the meeting is to improve the tense situation along the border frontline. General Chea Morn, the Cambodian commander of region 4, also made the same comment about this meeting. The cause of the abortion is not yet known. Nevertheless, Cambodia army officials in Preah Vihear temple claimed that the situation along the border frontline is still quiet at a time when it is learnt that Thai troops are carefully strengthening their concrete trenches.
