Bangkok (Thailand): Thailand on Tuesday withdrew its
support for a Cambodian proposal to list Preah Vihear temple as a World
Heritage site at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and
Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

The Cabinet decided to backtrack
on support for the controversial temple's listing to obey an
Administrative Court order made over the weekend, Deputy Prime Somchai
Wongsavat said.

It is unclear whether the government change in
stance on the listing will derail Cambodia's proposal to list the
centuries-old Hindu temple at UNESCO's upcoming meeting in Geneva on
July 2-10.

Thai Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej, who is
currently visiting China, called his Cambodian counterpart Hun Sen to
personally inform him of the cabinet decision and to urge him to
guarantee the personal safety of Thai nationals living in Cambodia,
said the Thai News Agency (TNA).
