The Foreign Ministry is trying to speed up the
process of collecting information to support Thailand's claim of
sovereignty over the disputed area near the Preah Vihear Temple.
The information will be presented to the International Court of Justice later this month after Cambodia's petit
Deputy permanent secretary of the Foreign Ministry Pisanu Chanvithan, along with representatives from the ministry traveled to Si Sa Ket Province today.
The group is trying gather information to support Thailand's claim of sovereignty over the 4.6-square kilometer disputed area near the Preah Vihear Temple.
They are talking to military sources and chiefs of villages located near the Thai-Cambodian border to gather as much information as possible.
The information will be presented to the International Court of Justice on May 30 to 31.
Cambodia had earlier petitioned the court to review its previous ruling which was handed down in 1962 over ownership of the ancient temple and the land surrounding it.
Cambodia also asked the court to order Thai troops to be withdrawn from the disputed area.
Thanee Thongphakdee, Foreign Ministry spokesman, reaffirms that the government now has enough information to support Thailand's claim over the disputed territory.
Jesda Katavetin, deputy director general of the Information Department, said that more officers will collect more information to support Thailand's legal claim over the area next month.
