Welcome to Washington @PMHunManet! The United States appreciates its growing relationship with Cambodia, a partnership that benefits both our peoples and contributes to broader peace, prosperity, and stability in Southeast Asia. We welcome Cambodia's role as a founding member of the Board of Peace. Given our Administration’s focus on economic and commercial diplomacy, I’m pleased to highlight a historic $3.24 billion deal between @Boeing and Air Cambodia for ten 737 MAX aircraft, with the option to purchase ten more. Deals like this provide our partners American excellence in aerospace innovation while supporting an expected 12,000+ high-quality jobs for American workers.
Exclusive: Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet told Reuters that Thai forces were occupying Cambodian territory after fighting last year despite a peace accordbrokered by US President Donald Trump and called on Thailand to allow a joint boundary commission to begin working on their disputed border https://t.co/ecHiIhVFbk
Cambodia’s PM Hun Manet says Thailand is still occupying Cambodian territory despite a Trump-brokered ceasefire, calling the situation “fragile” and a “violation of our sovereignty.”
In an interview in Washington, Hun Manet said:
We still have Thai forces occupying deep into Cambodian territory in many areas.
This is not an accusation but it’s a statement of the facts on the ground.
NOTE: Thailand denies occupying territory, saying it is maintaining agreed troop positions.
