(Phnom Penh): Lieutenant General Maly Socheata, Spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense, called on the Thai military to cease its continued fabrications and stop using false pretexts to justify its illegal invasion of Cambodian territory.

Maly Socheata spoke on Sunday (Jul. 27) during a press conference.

“Cambodia urges the Thai military to stop its continued fabrications and to cease using false pretexts to justify its unlawful invasion. The international community must hold Thailand fully accountable for its crimes and demand an end to all acts of aggression,” the spokesperson underscored.

She reiterated Cambodia’s firm commitment to an immediate ceasefire and to resolving the conflict through peaceful and lawful means in accordance with international law.

Maly Socheata also reaffirmed Cambodia’s sovereign rights and its right to self-defense, in line with Article 51 of the UN Charter, to protect its territorial integrity, national sovereignty, and the lives of its people against Thai aggression.

On 27 July 2025, Thailand rejected ceasefire proposals from US President Donald Trump, the United Nations, and the UN Security Council, while Cambodia had already prepared itself for a ceasefire.
