Cambodian military police keep an eye on Buddhist monks at Preah Vihear on August 1, 2008.

"We want to preserve the status quo, of before July 15, [which means] there are no soldiers in the disputed area," said a Cambodian embassy official in Washington, D.C.

He added that Cambodia was waiting for the Thai government to begin withdrawal of troops, as agreed in bilateral meetings last week.

"How long we can wait I don't know."
