In a statement released on 30 Jul 2025, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Thailand reiterated its commitment to upholding the ceasefire agreement between the two countries, following reports of repeated violations by Cambodian forces. The developments highlight the ongoing tensions between Thailand and Cambodia over issues including border security and migrant worker rights.
Thai security agencies have reported evidence of multiple ceasefire breaches by the Cambodian side, including the use of small arms fire and grenade assaults in Thai territory, as well as reinforcement of troops in Cambodian-controlled areas. In response to these violations, Thailand has submitted protest letters to ASEAN Chair Malaysia, the United States, China, and the United Nations Secretary-General.
Thailand’s Foreign Minister had bilateral discussions with his Vietnamese counterpart on 29 Jul 2025 and a phone call with Japanese Foreign Minister Iwaya Takeshi regarding the issue. Both countries expressed support for finding a peaceful solution through bilateral mechanisms. However, Thailand’s stance remains firm, calling on Cambodia to immediately cease all forms of violations and return to full compliance with the ceasefire agreement.
The situation has sparked concerns about the impact on regional stability and the potential for further escalation. In this context, Thailand’s commitment to resolving disputes peacefully is underscored by its continued adherence to international law and universal principles. The country reaffirms its resolve to cooperate with the international community in preserving peace and stability.
Moreover, Thailand has expressed disappointment over Cambodia’s disinformation campaign, which aims to conceal facts on the ground and undermine Thailand’s credibility. This inconsistency between words and actions reflects a lack of sincerity and good faith in working together to resolve the issue.
Thai Embassies and Consulates-General around the world are actively engaging with their host countries and accredited jurisdictions to provide accurate information and clarify Thailand’s position. The international community is urged to rely on verifiable evidence rather than unsubstantiated claims, ensuring that all parties understand the situation and the need for peaceful resolution.
In conclusion, Thailand’s unwavering commitment to upholding the ceasefire agreement and resolving disputes peacefully remains a cornerstone of its foreign policy. As the situation continues to evolve, the country will maintain its stance and work towards finding a mutually beneficial solution that prioritizes regional stability and respect for international law.
