General Yim Pim, the Cambodian commander of Brigade No. 8 stationed along the Preah Vihear temple border frontline, said that the border situation has improved significantly, and even a number of Thai troops have also pulled back. He said that the progress of the bilateral troop reduction is a good sign for peace along the border. Troops welcome Hun Xen’s search for peaceful resolution in the armed confrontation between the two countries. Yim Pim added that, in the past, Cambodian troops who travel somewhere must be on constant alert and they have to have their weapons in hand at all time, but now, patrolling soldiers can do so without their weapons, unlike what it used to be.
