东盟观察团赴万谷安地区核实泰方非法占领情况

Unofficial Translation Press Release The Spokeswoman of the Ministry of National Defence of the Kingdom of Cambodia, wishes to inform the public as well as members of national and international media as follows: On Tuesday, May 26, 2026, at 9:30 AM, the Cambodian Liaison Group (CLG) of the Kingdom of Cambodia, led by Lieutenant General Phat Vibolsopheak, Deputy Director-General of the General Department of Policy and Foreign Affairs and Director of the International Relations Department, facilitated a field mission for the ASEAN Observer Team (AOT), led by the Head of Mission (HOM AOT) under the Philippine Chairmanship. The objective was to observe, verify, and report on the border situation in the Boeung Trakuan area, located in Kok Romiet Commune, Thma Puok District, Banteay Meanchey Province. This area was subjected to incursions, the installation of barbed wire, and the illegal deployment of shipping containers by the Thai military—actions that continue to prevent numerous Cambodian families from returning to their homes. The ASEAN Observer Team’s inspection of the aforementioned sovereign Cambodian territory currently under illegal Thai occupation underscores the absolute necessity for the Cambodia-Thailand Joint Boundary Commission (JBC) to commence land demarcation work as soon as possible. This aligns with the existing framework stipulated in Point 3 of the Joint Statement of the 3rd Special Meeting of the Cambodia-Thailand General Border Committee (GBC) dated December 27, 2025, which aims to ensure that our citizens can safely, peacefully, and with dignity return to their homes without any obstruction. The Royal Government and the Ministry of National Defence of Cambodia reaffirm our firm, sincere, and unwavering commitment to fully and faithfully respect and implement the Joint Statement of the Third Special Meeting of the Cambodia–Thailand General Border Committee (GBC) on December 27, 2025, the Joint Declaration on the Peace Agreement between Cambodia and Thailand on October 26,  2025, and all other relevant agreements. This commitment is made with the aim of ensuring rapid recovery and restoring normalcy, and long-lasting peace and stability. The public, as well as national and international journalists, are hereby informed of the facts regarding this matter.
