Greetings to the public and members of the press. This afternoon, I would like to provide an update regarding the situation along the Cambodian-Thailand border. Following the ceasefire agreement between Cambodia and Thailand, which took effect at 12pm on December 27, 2025, the situation in the 4th and 5th military regions remained calm as of 4pm this afternoon.
Meanwhile, our armed forces stand strong and are performing their duties with full vigilance in defending the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and are fully adhering to the ceasefire agreement by both Cambodia and Thailand. In the spirit of peaceful resolution within an international legal framework, and as a true peace-loving country with a high sense of responsibility, the Royal Government of Cambodia and the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces reaffirm our firm’s sincere and honest commitment to fully respecting all established agreements. These include the Cambodia-Thailand ceasefire agreement on July 28, 2025, the joint declaration on the Cambodia-Thailand peace agreement of October 26, 2025, and the recent joint statement of the 3rd Special GBC signed on December 27, 2025. By consistently implementing these terms and other agreed documents, we aim to facilitate a rapid return to normalcy and ensure lasting security for the citizens living along our shared border. It is worth noting that this ceasefire has already received widespread support from the international community, echoing a collective regional interest in peace. This prevailing stability reflects a shared desire not only between our two nations but across the international community to see peace, stability, and development restored to the region.
We reiterate our unwavering position to resolve all issues in accordance with international law, the United Nations Charter, and the ASEAN Charter. The Ministry of National Defense calls on the public, members of the press, and all citizens to follow the updated information from a certified, accurate, and reliable source, especially from the Royal Government of Cambodia, officials, pages of the national leaders, relevant ministries, and institutions.
