PHNOM PENH, May 9 (Xinhua) -- Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen on
Friday advised armed forces and local authorities along border with
Thailand to keep calm.
The premier spoke to border military commanders and provincial governors via a video conference during the weekly Cabinet meeting on Friday.
Cambodia and Thailand has had a bitter border dispute since July 2008 when the UNESCO added the Cambodia's Preah Vihear temple to its World Heritage List, but Thailand claimed the ownership of 4.6 square km of scrub next to the temple.
The temple had become a flashpoint of armed clashes between the two countries' troops since then.
However, tensions have calmed since July 2011 when then Thai prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra took office.
Some suspects Yingluck's stepping down may re-ignite the border tension.
The Hague-based International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled in November last year that Cambodia has sovereignty over the whole territory of the promontory of Preah Vihear temple.
The two countries have so far not met and discussed the implementation of the ICJ's ruling.
