(Phnom Penh) – On Friday night (Jun. 6), Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet outlined Cambodia’s four-point position regarding the border issue with Thailand to Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, who is also the 2025 ASEAN Chair.

Samdech Thipadei wrote on his Facebook page on Friday (Jun. 6).

"Earlier this evening, I had a telephone conversation with Anwar Ibrahim, Prime Minister of Malaysia. I congratulated Prime Minister for the successful hosting of the 46th ASEAN Summit and Related Summits, and thanked him for his kind attention to the ongoing situation related to the Cambodia-Thailand border.

I informed Anwar of the Royal Government of Cambodia’s position related to the Cambodia-Thailand border as follows:

1. Cambodia adheres to the principle of maintaining peace, friendship, and good cooperation with Thailand.

2. Cambodia’s decision to refer Ta Moan Thom Temple, Ta Moan Tauch Temple, Ta Krabei Temple, and Mom Bei areas to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) is to seek an early, peaceful and permanent solution to the border issue in these areas rather than to prolong the uncertainty which can lead to renewed armed conflicts.

3. Cambodia continues to cooperate with Thailand to expedite the demarcation and delimitation of the border (except the four areas mentioned above) through the Cambodia-Thailand Joint Commission on Demarcation for Land Boundary (JBC).

4. Cambodia continues to maintain relations between the two countries through all existing mechanisms for the mutual benefit of the two peoples."
