Cambodia unequivocally affirms its steadfast dedication to the full and unwavering implementation of the ceasefire agreement reached between Cambodia and Thailand on 28 July 2025 in Putrajaya, Malaysia. The Cambodian armed forces have not engaged in any actions that could be construed as a violation of the agreed ceasefire, contrary to the fabricated allegations made by the Royal Thai Government.
The Ministry firmly rejects the misleading and fabricated accusations, which distort the facts on the ground and dangerously threaten the fragile trust and dialogue essential for lasting peace. Cambodia reiterates that it has no intention, now or in the future, of breaching the ceasefire. Its primary goal is to ensure that peace prevails and endures, for the benefit of both nations and the stability of the entire region.
In this regard, the Royal Government of Cambodia expresses its deep appreciation to Malaysia, as the current Chair of ASEAN, for its speedy dispatch of a delegation led by Chief of Defence Forces of Malaysia to Thailand and Cambodia to discuss on developing detailed mechanisms for implementing, verifying, and reporting the ceasefire. It is Cambodia’s sincere hope that an impartial observer team will be set up to monitor, verify, and facilitate the full implementation of the ceasefire.
The Ministry reaffirms its steadfast and unequivocal commitment to the principles of international law, peaceful resolution of disputes, and enduring multilateral cooperation. Cambodia remains fully dedicated to engaging constructively with Thailand to achieve a just, lasting, and peaceful resolution to the current situation, one that respects the sovereignty, territorial integrity, and mutual dignity of both nations.
On 30 Jul 2025, the Ministry announced its stance on the matter, urging for transparency and accountability in monitoring and verifying the ceasefire agreement. The Royal Government of Cambodia remains committed to engaging constructively with Thailand to achieve a just and lasting resolution to the current situation.
