Cambodia Vows to Keep Border Dispute on Global Agenda as Thailand Concedes Right to Raise Issue

Cambodia has reaffirmed its commitment to raise the bilateral border dispute with Thailand at the Francophonie summit in Phnom Penh, despite Thailand's insistence that international forums cannot determine territorial boundaries. Thailand conceded Cambodia's right to voice the issue, but maintained its position on the sovereignty of its own claims. The dispute remains unresolved, with both nations continuing to assert their positions.

Thailand has conceded that Cambodia has the right to raise the current bilateral border dispute at the upcoming Francophonie summit in Phnom Penh. However, Thailand insists that international forums cannot determine boundaries, maintaining that sovereignty issues must be resolved bilaterally. Cambodia has reaffirmed that it will continue to voice the issue globally as long as alleged violations of its sovereignty remain unresolved. The dispute, which has persisted for years, involves contested areas along the shared border between the two nations. Both countries have historically claimed portions of the border, leading to periodic tensions and allegations of sovereignty violations.
