During a phone conversation on Friday evening with Anwar Ibrahim, Prime Minister of Malaysia and the current Chair of ASEAN, Hun Manet expressed his gratitude for Malaysia’s attention to the situation along the Cambodia–Thailand border. The Cambodian Prime Minister emphasised the Kingdom’s steadfast commitment to maintaining peace, friendship, and constructive cooperation with Thailand. He explained that Cambodia’s decision to bring the border issues concerning the areas of Mom Bei, Ta Moan Thom Temple, Ta Moan Tauch Temple, and Ta Krabei Temple to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) reflects a desire to find a timely and peaceful resolution. Leaving these issues unresolved for an extended period could risk renewed armed conflict, he said. At the same time, Hun Manet emphasised Cambodia’s commitment to continuing its collaboration with the Thai side to finalise the measurement, demarcation, and placement of border markers in the remaining areas. This will be done through the existing mechanism of the Cambodia–Thailand Joint Commission on the Survey and Demarcation of Land Boundary (JBC). The Prime Minister further stressed that Cambodia remains committed to strengthening bilateral relations through all existing mechanisms for the supreme interest of the two peoples. The Cambodia-Thailand border tension intensified when Thai military forces opened fire on a Cambodian army post located in Techo Morokot village, Morokot commune, Choam Khsan district, Preah Vihear province—an area long recognised as a Cambodian military position on the morning of May 28, 2025, at approximately 5:30 a.m. Tragically, the exchange resulted in the death of a Cambodian soldier.
