Press Briefing – Update on the implementation of the immediate and unconditional ceasefire agreement between Cambodia and Thailand

Keynote Address by H.E. Chum Sounry, Spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperatoin:
7:00AM, August 10, 2025
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation firmly rejects the statement issued by Thailand’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs on August 9, 2025, which alleges that Cambodia planted new landmines.
The Cambodian Mine Action and Victim Assistance Authority (CMAA) has already provided a clear explanation in its press release of August 9, 2025, refuting this unfounded accusation.
To date, no credible or transparent investigation has been conducted into the incident cited by the Thai side. Cambodia calls for restraint and for the avoidance of premature public accusations, which risk undermining mutual trust and eroding the spirit of the ceasefire at a time when constructive engagement is urgently needed.
Cambodia urges Thailand to fully honor the commitments reached at the recent extraordinary meeting of the Cambodia–Thailand General Border Committee, in particular the agreement to maintain current troop positions and refrain from movements or patrols toward the other side’s positions.
