Cambodian PM Says Thailand Occupying Territory After Trump-Brokered Ceasefire
Hun Manet urges technical border demarcation via the Joint Boundary Commission to resolve disputes after Thai troops remain in contested areas following a failed peace accord.
- On Tuesday, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet told Reuters that Thai forces are occupying Cambodian territory despite a peace accord brokered by United States President Donald Trump, and he urged Thailand to let the Joint Boundary Commission begin demarcation.
- Following a peace accord signed in October, Hun Manet said Thai troops had laid shipping containers and barbed wire inside the 817km border, blocking residents from returning.
- The defence ministry replied that Thailand is maintaining troop positions as part of de-escalation and denied occupation, with Rear Admiral Surasant Kongsiri saying no reinforcement occurred and a JBC can convene under government arrangements.
- Hun Manet travelled to Washington to attend Trump's Board of Peace and hopes demarcation can start now that Thailand's February 8 election is over.
- Manet's ascent has coincided with warmer Washington ties as Trump's Board of Peace may expand beyond Gaza, while observers warn the border conflict risk remains despite peace efforts.
