(Phnom Penh): Lieutenant General Maly Socheata, Spokesperson for Cambodia’s Ministry of National Defence, reiterated five key points among the agreements reached at the Extraordinary Meeting of the GBC on August 7, 2025 in Kuala Lumpur.

The spokesperson spoke on Monday (Aug. 11).

In the meeting, Cambodia and Thailand agreed as follows:

1. Both sides agree to a ceasefire involving all types of weapons, including attacks on civilians and civilian objects and military objectives of either side, in all cases and all areas. Both sides must avoid unprovoked firing towards the other side’s positions or troops. This agreement must not be violated under any circumstances.

2. Both sides agree to maintain current troop deployments without further movement as it is at the time ceasefire reached at 24:00 hours (local time) on July 28, 2025. There shall be no troop movements including patrol towards the other side’s position.

3. Both sides agree not to increase forces along the entire Cambodia-Thailand border. Any reinforcement would heighten tensions and negatively affect long-term efforts to resolve the situation.

4. Both sides agree not to undertake provocative actions that may escalate tensions. This includes military activities to enter the other side’s air space and territory or positions as of ceasefire from 24:00 hours (local time) on July 28, 2025. Both sides agree to refrain from constructing or enhancing any military infrastructure or fortifications beyond their own side.

5. Both sides agree not to use any kind of forces against civilians and civilian objects in all circumstances. Such actions would not only endanger communities in the border areas but also violate international law and tarnish the global image of the non-compliant side.
