Intervention by H.E. Pen Bona, Royal Government Spokesperson:

Today, as the spokesperson of the Royal Government of Cambodia, I would like to brief Cambodian citizens both at home and abroad, as well as the international community, as follows:

 

First:  The peace-loving hearts of the Cambodian leaders and people, as well as those of the international community, are a strong foundation for sustaining the effective implementation of the ceasefire agreement. In other words, the Ceasefire Agreement is being implemented under the watchful eyes of peace-loving countries, including the Interim Observers Team, diplomatic missions, and foreign military attachés, especially under the observant eyes of the three countries that played a significant role in shaping the agreement, which are the United States, Malaysia, and China. The pilgrimage of 2569monks this afternoon in Phnom Penh City is a testament toCambodia’s peace-loving spirit.

 

Second:  Cambodia reaffirms its unwavering commitment to respecting the ceasefire agreement and once again urges Thailand to fully honor the ceasefire agreement reached on 28 July 2025 in Putrajaya, as well as the outcomes of the recent Extraordinary Meeting of the Cambodia–Thailand General Border Committee (GBC) on 7 August 2025 in Kuala Lumpur, particularly the agreement to maintain their current troop deployments and refrain from patrols toward the other side’s positions.

 

Third:  To all Cambodian citizens, both at home and abroad, please remain calm and do not fall for the tricks of fake news or old information that are posted, aiming to deceive public opinion, especially the Thai people. And, with a strong sense of solidarity, please continue to trust in the government and its leadership, in the Ministry of National Defense, and in our heroes of the army and armed forces in defending our territorial integrity.

 

Thank you
