Phnom Penh: Royal Government Spokesperson Pen Bona said that the Royal Government is continuing active diplomatic work to encourage the Thai side to respect the previous agreement on allowing the National Border Committee to measure and demarcate the border between the two countries.
In a statement on the Cambodia-Thailand border situation on August 10, 2026, Pen Bona said that the Royal Government is continuing active diplomatic work to encourage the Thai side to respect the agreement signed with them to resolve the border issue quickly and completely, especially the implementation of point 3 of the joint declaration dated December 27, 2025, which assigned the task of the JBC to measure and demarcate the border as soon as possible, giving priority to affected areas where civilians live.
He said, “The main goal of this point is to “To allow civilians to return to their homes in safety, without hindrance and with dignity, in accordance with international law, and to resolve border issues by ensuring sustainable and lasting peace along the border.”
According to the spokesperson, during a time when Cambodia was subjected to violations of its territorial integrity and which caused more than 640,000 civilians to be forcibly displaced from their homes, the Royal Government of Cambodia, headed by Prime Minister Hun Sen, has put in place clear and urgent policies to help support refugees, taking into account their security, safety, well-being and the restoration of their livelihoods. So far, approximately 20,000 people have not been able to return home.
