PHNOM PENH (Reuters) - Cambodia and Thailand will hold more talks on Monday aimed at resolving a smoldering border dispute over a 900-year-old temple, officials said on Thursday after their two leaders spoke on the phone.

Thai Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej told reporters in Bangkok that his Cambodian counterpart, Hun Sen, had agreed to withdraw a complaint to U.N. Security Council, but Cambodian officials denied this.

Hun Sen only agreed to delay its request for an emergency U.N. meeting on the spat that has sparked fears of a military clash, government spokesman Khieu Kanharith said.

"We have decided to postpone our complaint to the United Nations Security Council, but that does not mean we withdraw it," he told Reuters.
