CHUM Sounry, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Spokesperson:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MoFAIC) expresses its firm rejection of the unfounded and misleading claims made during the press briefing by the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs on July 31, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. Cambodia reaffirms its adherence to international law, peaceful principles, and ASEAN-led mechanisms. The MoFAIC offers the following clarifications:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">a. The claim by Thailand of Self-Defense is Misleading<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cambodia reiterates that the armed clash on May 28, 2025, was triggered by Thai troops opening fire on Cambodian army position on Cambodian territory, not by Cambodian aggression.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thailand\u2019s claim of \u201cself-defense\u201d is only to mask its provocative military actions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">b. For Thailand\u2019s claim about Cambodia\u2019s \u201cinternationalization for manipulation\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The MoFAIC wishes to highlight that Cambodia\u2019s diplomatic efforts are consistent and legitimate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cambodia\u2019s engagement at the United Nations was a good-faith appeal for transparency and multilateral oversight, not \u201cinternationalization for manipulation,\u201d as Thailand claims.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cambodia continues to work with ASEAN, the UN, and international partners to prevent escalation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">c. With regard to Thai claim that the ceasefire agreement is a Thai diplomatic victory<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>As a matter of fact, the agreement was a multilateral achievement made possible by the constructive roles of ASEAN Chair Malaysia, the U.S., China and Cambodia\u2019s active participation and restraint. It was not a Thai diplomatic victory.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">d. Concerning continued accusation of Ceasefire Violations by Cambodia<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Once again Cambodia categorically rejects this unfounded allegation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Since the ceasefire took effect, Thai forces have been breaching the ceasefire by their military actions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cambodia has documented these violations and will present evidence to ASEAN and the UN during upcoming meetings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">e. Thailand\u2019s Accusations of Disinformation<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The MoFAIC dismisses Thailand\u2019s accusations of \u201cinformation warfare\u201d by Cambodia and consider them as an attempt to distract international attention from its own actions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cambodia is committed to fact-based communication and welcomes independent international observation of affected areas on both sides of the border.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. The MoFAIC wishes to reaffirm that Cambodia stands for peaceful resolution, and regional stability. We urge Thailand to cease confrontational rhetoric, respect the agreed ceasefire, and engage constructively through ASEAN and international frameworks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/rgsu.gov.kh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_9219-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8139\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rgsu.gov.kh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_9219-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rgsu.gov.kh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_9219-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rgsu.gov.kh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_9219-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rgsu.gov.kh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_9219-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/rgsu.gov.kh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_9219-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/rgsu.gov.kh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_9219-1000x667.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/rgsu.gov.kh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_9219-780x520.jpg 780w, https:\/\/rgsu.gov.kh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_9219-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>4:00PM, August 1, 2025 Statement by by H.E.
