The Cambodian prime minister, Hun Sen, has reiterated that his country would not "wage war" with neighbouring Thailand over a long-running border dispute that erupted into violence last month.

He has also urged patience from both sides, as negotiators attempt to demarcate an agreed border between them.

Thai and Cambodian officials agreed in principle in a meeting last week to reduce troops at the disputed border and to form a border task force.

They plan to meet again in January.
