Phnom Penh: Ms. Eart Sophea, Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, presented to the heads and representatives of 42 diplomatic missions and international organizations in Phnom Penh the latest developments regarding the Cambodian-Thai border situation, with a particular focus on the issue of Thai forces’ strengthening of their control over areas beyond the border line that Thailand has unilaterally claimed.
She highlighted that one of the most important measures agreed upon to ease tensions, restore confidence, and achieve lasting peace between the two countries is to resume the work of the Joint Border and Boundary Commission (JBC) on the measurement and demarcation of the border as soon as possible, giving immediate priority to areas where people live. The resumption of the work of the Joint Border Commission (JBC) will allow the remaining tens of thousands of people to return to their homes and resume their normal lives, as agreed.
However, since the new Thai government was formed earlier this year, there has been no indication that Thailand has taken steps to fulfill its commitments under the agreement, and it has continued to engage in illegal activities in the areas it occupies.
