Cambodia, Thailand Agree Joint Border Patrol But Troops Remain -- AFP
PREAH VIHEAR, Cambodia (AFP) — Thailand and Cambodia on Thursday agreed to joint patrols of disputed border areas after deadly clashes, but made little progress toward resolving their long-standing territorial spat.
Senior military officials from both sides met in Thailand the day after gunfights broke out on disputed land near Preah Vihear temple, a UN heritage site on Cambodian territory and the focus of months of tensions.
"We will introduce the joint patrol to avoid this kind of incident happening again," said Lieutenant General Wiboonsak Neeparn, Thailand's northeastern army commander, after the five-hour meeting.

"We understood each other," he told AFP. "We cannot patrol individually because it could lead to a misunderstanding."
