The UNESCO World Heritage meeting in Seville, Spain, ended at 7PM on Sunday 28 June (01AM local time in Phnom Penh on Monday 29 June 2009). Thailand was shamefully defeated in its request for a review of the listing of Preah Vihear temple as a World Heritage Site. Preah Vihear temple is a priceless Cambodian heritage that cannot be haggled for. As a result of the UNESCO meeting, the review request by Thailand was not included the agenda of the meeting and Thailand’s representatives were not allowed to give any declaration during the meeting.
