geovalin Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Cambodia and Laos have begun to withdraw troops from disputed territory in Preah Vihear province after senior military officials from both sides conducted negotiations. Senior military officers Lieutenant General Srey Doek and Major General Duang Chan recently negotiated with Major General Soukai Phommasone, Laos’ Champassak provincial military commander. Sou Serey, deputy provincial governor, on Saturday said both sides are now withdrawing troops peacefully, but there is misinformation spreading online. “Troops from both sides are withdrawing,” Mr Serey said. “There was a misunderstanding. There is no confrontation.” “The situation is becoming normal. We are like brothers – our people cross the Lao border and Lao people also come to us,” Mr Serey said. “We have annual meetings between both provinces to help us understand each other.” Anousine Khattiyalath, deputy head of the National Boundary Committee at the Lao Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was quoted by the Laotian Times last week saying: “[We] would like to officially state that the area in question is stable, and our two countries are not engaged in any kind of stand-off. There is no tension, and there are no major problems.” read more https://www.khmertimeskh.com/50639362/cambodia-laos-begin-troop-withdrawal-from-disputed-area/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
