Phnom Penh: Royal Government Spokesperson Pen Bona said that Cambodia’s letter of protest against the Thai military’s aggression against Cambodia’s territorial integrity is a document of indispensable legal value.
In a statement on the Cambodia-Thailand border situation on August 7, 2026, Pen Bona said that in the efforts to work on the border, relevant ministries and institutions that are the Royal Government’s staff, such as the Cambodian JBC Committee, have sent 10 diplomatic notes to the Thai side to request a special meeting of the Cambodian-Thai JBC Committee and to request the dispatch of Joint Survey Teams (JSTs) to continue to carry out practical work on the ground, continuing the work that both sides have carried out in the past. Meanwhile, the Cambodian JBC Committee has sent 59 diplomatic notes since the Thai military’s attack on Cambodian territory on July 24, 2025. The protest is made against the illegal activities of Thai forces on the illegally occupied sites in Cambodian territory.
The spokesperson of the Royal Government stated that “this official protest is necessary to confirm Cambodia’s absolute disagreement with the Thai side’s violation of its sovereignty. This official protest letter is a document of legal value and indispensable for the process of resolving border issues in accordance with international law, as well as maintaining the validity of the dispute.”
He said that this is the reason why the Royal Government of Cambodia always protests at all points where the Thai side has violated without skipping any points, because this protest is legal evidence to resolve the issue of territorial integrity through international legal mechanisms.
