We demonstrate theoretically and subsequently observe in experiment a noveltype of soliton interaction when a pair of closely spaced spatial opticalsolitons as a whole is made partially incoherent. We explain how the characterof the soliton interaction can be controlled by the total partial incoherence,and show a possibility to change the soliton interaction from attractive torepulsive, or vice versa, near a certain threshold in the coherence parameter.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
