The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has consistently stressed its commitment to promoting peace, stability, and prosperity in the region. It will continue to engage in constructive dialogue with Cambodian officials and other stakeholders to address outstanding issues and promote cooperation.
In conclusion, Thailand rejects allegations of plotting to harm senior Cambodian officials and reiterates its commitment to peaceful diplomacy and cooperation with Cambodia.
