Thailand and Cambodia Seek to Ease Simmering Border Tensions
- Thailand and Cambodia met in Phnom Penh on June 14, 2025, to seek progress in their longstanding border dispute involving four contested areas.
- The talks followed a fatal clash on May 28, 2025, where troops exchanged fire near the Emerald Triangle, resulting in one Cambodian soldier's death.
- Cambodia intends to bring the dispute over four border areas before the International Court of Justice, while Thailand refuses to acknowledge the court's authority and prefers to resolve the issue through direct bilateral discussions.
- Thailand’s Foreign Ministry reported progress in enhancing mutual understanding through the talks, while Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet indicated that the agenda would exclude the four contentious areas.
- The dispute, stretching along an 820-km frontier dating to the colonial era, remains unresolved as both sides maintain military readiness and continue diplomatic efforts without a final resolution.
