(Phnom Penh): The Royal Government of Cambodia categorically rejects the Statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Thailand issued on 30 July 2025, which falsely alleges that Cambodia has violated the ceasefire reached on 28 July 2025 in Malaysia. Cambodia wishes to reiterate its rejection of the continued fabricated claims, as already expressed in the Statement of the Foreign Ministry of Cambodia issued on 29 July 2025. At no point of time had the Cambodian armed forces engaged in any actions that could be construed as a violation of the agreed ceasefire.

"Cambodia has earnestly endeavored to reach an agreement for the cessation of all armed hostilities, to prevent further needless loss of lives and suffering of tens of thousands of people who are displaced by the fighting. Cambodia unequivocally reaffirms its steadfast dedication to the full and effective implementation of the ceasefire agreement and peaceful resolution to all disputes with Thailand," according to the statement seen by Fresh News on Thursday (Jul. 31).

"It is now time to emphasize on the primary goal of not only restoring peace, but also making it enduring, for the benefit of both nations and the stability of the entire region. In this regard, Cambodia deeply appreciates the strong commitment shown by Malaysia, the current Chair of ASEAN, for taking expeditious action to set up a monitoring mechanism for the verification and reporting of the ceasefire to ensure its effective implementation as agreed. Cambodia appreciates the support of all ASEAN Member States and other interest countries in making the ceasefire lasting.

For full transparency, with the good cooperation of the ASEAN Chair, Cambodia organized today, 30 July 2025, a site visit by foreign diplomats and Military Attaché Corps in Phnom Penh to the border area of An Seh. Cambodia’s push for a monitoring mechanism is a testament to its sincerity, openness and strong desire to maintain the ceasefire and completely end the fighting to save lives.

The Royal Government of Cambodia reaffirms its full adherence to the ceasefire and steadfast commitment to the principles of international law, the peaceful resolution of disputes, and firm respect for the sovereignty, territorial integrity, and mutual dignity of both nations."
