A novel phenomenon is discovered that the short-range interaction between strongly nonlocal spatial solitons depends sinusoidally on their phase difference. The two neighbouring solitons at close proximate can be inter-trapped via the strong nonlocality, and propagate together as a whole. The trajectory of the propagation is a straight line with its slope controlled by the phase difference. The experimental results carried out in nematic liquid crystals agree quantitatively with the prediction. Our study suggests that the phenomenon to steer optical beams by controlling the phase difference could be used in all-optical information processing.
