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

Key points for Cambodian citizens—particularly journalists and social media influencers—to take into account:

Firstly, under the utmost attention of the top leaders, Samdech Thipadei Hun Manet, Prime Minister, as well as Samdech Techo Hun Sen, President of the Senate, the ceasefire implementation is progressing gradually with positive results that can be seen vigorously through the GBC and RBC meetings. Cambodia remains firmly committed to implementing the ceasefire agreement to reach a peaceful resolution of the border issue between the two countries, Cambodia and Thailand, and maintain peace for both countries and their peoples. It should be noted that the implementation of the ceasefire agreement is ruling under the international watchful eyes, especially those of the United States of America, the People’s Republic of China, and Malaysia, as well as the foreign diplomats and military attachés in Cambodia who have been actively operating their mission continuously in border observations.

Secondly, the strength of the Khmer national unity is still resolutely maintained by Cambodian citizens both at home and abroad, who continue to raise the Khmer flag and their voices to defend the national sovereignty and territorial integrity with great admiration for the bravery of the soldiers and our armed forces who stand firm to protect the territorial integrity of Cambodia. The great solidarity and strong national unity that emerged from the true patriotic spirit of the Cambodian people made psychological warfare and the tactic of using fake news aimed at demoralizing the Cambodian people backfire instantly.

Thirdly, the Royal Government of Cambodia, led by the Cambodian People’s Party, remains a strong guardian of peace, social and political stability, and macroeconomic stability, as well as protecting national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and is the most reliable and warmest support for the Khmer people under all circumstances.

Thank you.
