In the face of ongoing border tensions with Thailand, the Cambodian people must stand united, proud and unwavering behind our government’s principled stance. This is not just a matter of territorial integrity — it is about defending truth, justice and the values that define us as a nation. Cambodia does not bow to threats, coercion or manipulation. Instead, we respond with resolve, and a deep respect for international law. For centuries, Cambodia has been home to one of Southeast Asia’s most enduring civilisations — rich in culture and wisdom. Our history teaches us that strength lies not in aggression, but…
Prime Minister Hun Manet has explained that Cambodia is waiting to see who holds real power and a clear position in Thailand — someone the Kingdom can trust enough to work with to find a joint solution for the benefit of both countries. Speaking at a police graduation ceremony in Kandal today, June 26, he stated that a lack of clarity and abrupt inconsistency in Thailand’s government policy — especially the disconnect between the policies declared by Thailand’s political leadership and their implementation on the ground by Thai military forces — has created obstacles to finding a genuine solution. “I’m…
The head of the government has praised the border police force for their effective cooperation with the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces (RCAF), noting that they have courageously made many kinds of sacrifices to defend Cambodia’s national sovereignty and territorial integrity, ensuring it remains stable and enduring. Prime Minister Hun Manet shared his gratitude during a June 26 graduation ceremony for 698 recipients of doctoral degrees, Master’s Degrees and Bachelor’s degrees in police science, prison administration and professional police training, held at the Police Academy of Cambodia in Kandal province. He added that the National Police have played a vital role…
Cybercrime, online crime, phone or online fraud is the fastest growing criminal activity in the modern era. Although it may be known by many names in different nations, it is a crisis which confronts us all. Now more than ever, it is crucial that we confront this scourge together and fight as a united coalition, rather than attempting to apportion blame. This type of crime is a product of modern civilisation, in the era of artificial intelligence (AI) and digital technology transformation. It occurs and spreads around the world. It is a crime without borders, as criminal groups can operate…
The fight against drugs is the shared responsibility of all Cambodian citizens, and everyone must uphold a lifelong commitment to never engage in drug use or trafficking, said Prime Minister Hun Manet in a special message, released to mark the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking on June 26. The Cambodian government selected the theme: “Together, Prevent, Suppress and Eliminate the Roots of Drug Problems in Cambodia” to mark the day, which the prime minister described as an important occasion to reaffirm Cambodia’s dedication to combat drugs through every possible method and strategy with the goal of reducing…
As Thailand and Cambodia grapple with the lingering complexity of their border demarcation, a clear-eyed, law-based approach is more urgent than ever. Territorial disagreements rooted in colonial-era maps require clarity rather than distraction. Yet in recent Thai discourse, there’s a growing tendency to blur the lines between legal dispute and political narrative. Thailand’s recent narrative of conflating Cambodia’s transnational scam problem with territorial claims or seeking to enlist its security ally the US, as a counterweight to Phnom Penh, reflects a self-contradictory posture and ultimately undermines the credibility of Thailand’s legal reasoning. This statement is from a Thai scholar’s article…
At least 400 tonnes of pumpkins have already been purchased from farmers in Preah Vihear province by private companies and local authorities. The drive for local sales stem from the suspension of vegetable and other imports from Thailand due to the current border dispute. Commune agriculture offices based in Preah Vihear’s Sangkum Thmei and Kulen districts, along with local authorities and the provincial Department of Commerce, have helped facilitate market access for the farmers of Ro’ang and Phnom TbengI communes. As of June 24, a total of 338 tonnes of pumpkins had been sold to several major supermarkets and government…
Minister of Interior Sar Sokha has raised questions about the sincerity of Thai authorities. He cited several issues, from the killing of a Cambodian soldier to the closure of borders to the dissemination of “false” information to the world regarding ongoing border issues with Cambodia. In a social media statement – posted today, June 25 – he questioned Thailand’s claims that they have not closed the border, but prohibit people from crossing. Sokha suggested that Thailand has put on a dramatic act to portray itself as a victim to the Thai public and the international community, by claiming that Thailand…
Thailand’s recent behaviour along the Cambodian-Thai border is not just alarming — it is deeply irresponsible. What began as a series of aggressive threats has devolved into a web of contradictions, policy reversals and manipulative tactics that are causing real harm to thousands of people. At the heart of this crisis lies not a conflict with Cambodia, but Thailand’s own internal dysfunction and the absence of unified, accountable leadership. In recent weeks, Thai authorities have issued repeated threats: To cut electricity and internet connections to Cambodian areas, to ban fuel imports and to shut down border checkpoints. These declarations were…
