Cambodia Reaffirms Ceasefire and Border Position Amid Diplomatic Efforts

PHNOM PENH, Mar. 10, 2026 (KPT) — Cambodia has reiterated its commitment to peace, international law, and the December 2025 joint statement in addressing border issues with Thailand, government spokesperson Pen Bona said Tuesday.

Speaking at a press briefing, Bona stressed that Cambodia strictly observes the ceasefire and all points outlined in the December 27 statement, as well as previous agreements.
