Thailand, Cambodia make pledge on border dispute
Updated
Thailand and Cambodia have agreed to "exert utmost efforts" to find a peaceful solution to their border standoff at a disputed temple.
The affirmation was made at the meeting of ASEAN foreign ministers in Singapore.
Singapore's Foreign Minister George Yeo says both sides were urged to resolve their differences amicably in the spirit of ASEAN solidarity and good neighbourliness.
More than 500 Thai troops and well over 1,000 Cambodian soldiers are stationed around a small Buddhist pagoda leading to the ruins of the 11th-century Preah Vihear temple, where nearby land is claimed by both sides.
