Phnom Penh: Cambodian government spokesman Pen Bona said that Cambodia highly values the mandate and role of the ASEAN Observer Team (AOT) in observing the Cambodia-Thailand border after the ceasefire between the two countries.
In a statement on the Cambodia-Thailand border situation on August 5, the Royal Government Spokesperson stated that through the ASEAN observer group and visits to the border by diplomats, representatives of international organizations, foreign journalists, as well as foreigners who have influence on global social media, they have clearly seen the aggression of Thai forces against the integrity of Cambodian territory, which has resulted in approximately 20,000 refugees unable to return to their homes.
He said this is a serious violation of the rights of Cambodian citizens and a violation of international law that the international community is paying close attention to.
The spokesperson stated that “Cambodia highly values the mandate and role of the ASEAN Observer Group as a mechanism to verify the implementation of the ceasefire and respect for all points agreed upon in accordance with the joint declaration of December 27, 2025.”
He said that while facilitating ASEAN observers and other visits to the border areas, the Royal Government has been actively pursuing diplomatic work both regionally and internationally.
