(Phnom Penh): Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet shared three significant insights regarding the Cambodia–Thailand border situation with French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris.

Jean-François Tain spoke on Thursday (Apr. 9) during a press conference on the outcomes of Prime Minister Hun Manet's participation in the One Health Summit and his working visit to France.

In his dialogue with President Macron, Samdech Thipadei articulated the current realities surrounding the Cambodia–Thailand border issue, ensuring a balanced representation of the facts without exaggeration or minimisation.

According to the delegate minister, the prime minister highlighted three main concerns:

First, the situation along the Cambodia–Thailand border remains volatile, with reports of Thai troops crossing internationally recognised boundaries into Cambodian territory. These incidents, he said, violate international law and have resulted in damage to homes and the displacement of thousands of Cambodian residents.

Second, Cambodia firmly rejects any unlawful changes to the border, maintaining that affected areas remain under Cambodian sovereignty despite alleged encroachments.

Third, Samdech Thipadei Hun Manet reaffirmed Cambodia’s commitment to a peaceful resolution, stressing adherence to existing agreements and treaties between Cambodia and Thailand.

The discussions took place during the prime minister’s working visit to France, where he also participated in the One Health Summit and held meetings with international leaders.
