Violent clashes near the ancient 11th century Preah Vihear have left seven soldiers dead since July 2008 when the temple was granted UN World Heritage status. High level delegations have met at various times over the past year in an attempt to heal rifts but Wednesday’s meeting is the first time since 2006 that ministers have convened their joint policy commission. The body had previously met once a year to oversee relations between the two countries. Cambodia and Thailand have been at loggerheads over the Khmer ruins for decades.
