Cambodia’s PM calls for peaceful solution of border dispute with Thailand
Hun Manet stressed that peaceful surveying and demarcation of the border is the "simplest, most transparent and most just way, because Cambodia has no intention of violating the lawful sovereignty of any neighboring country. Whatever the results of the survey may be, Cambodia will respect them. I hope that Thailand will have the sincerity to do the same."
Meanwhile, Thai military and political leaders have taken a hardline stance. The Royal Thai Army’s chief of staff declared the goal of “crippling Cambodia’s military capability for a long time to come, for the safety of our children and grandchildren,” while Thailand’s prime minister stated that "from now on, there will be no negotiations of any kind. If the fighting is to stop, Cambodia must follow the course of action set by Thailand."
The border dispute, which flared into deadly clashes in July, had displaced thousands of residents. The ceasefire deal signed on October 26 in Kuala Lumpur was meant to stabilize the situation, with international figures assisting in brokering the agreement.
