This claim, made by the Thai Minister, is being raised to neighboring states that Thailand is not trustworthy and is no longer worth believing.

The United States welcomes the news of Kem Sokha’s release. The United States has consistently called for the release of Kem Sokha and maintained that his conviction related to claims of U.S. involvement in activities against Cambodia’s government was unfounded. His release is a positive development, and we continue to encourage the Cambodian government to ensure its citizens can freely exercise their rights of peaceful assembly and expression.

[Channtha So @channthaso]

In an era of mounting external pressures and geopolitical uncertainty, strengthening national unity is not merely symbolic—it is a core policy imperative for safeguarding sovereignty and ensuring long‑term national stability.

[Channtha So @channthaso]

Cambodia should adopt a deliberate and forward‑looking strategy for national reconciliation, treating social cohesion and political unity as essential instruments of state resilience.

[U.S. Embassy Cambodia @USEmbPhnomPenh]

The United States is troubled by the decision to uphold Kem Sokha’s conviction. Furthermore, claims of U.S. involvement in schemes against Cambodia’s government are patently false and irresponsible. We encourage the Cambodian government to ensure its citizens can freely exercise their rights of peaceful assembly and expression and continue to call for the release of those unjustly detained.

Today’s decision to uphold Kem Sokha’s conviction is deeply disappointing.

Australia’s Chargé d'affaires attended the verdict hearing.

We urge Cambodia to take steps to expand civic space and create the conditions for genuine, contested elections.

Global military expenditure increased to $2887 billion in 2025, the 11th year of consecutive rises, bringing the global military burden—military expenditure as a share of gross domestic product (GDP)—to 2.5%, its highest level since 2009. Key facts ➡️ https://t.co/y6fOoaCvZ0

China, Russia, and North Korea have helped Iran threaten the United States by supplying precursors for ballistic missile fuel, satellite launch assistance, and long-term cooperation on missile development.

Thailand never complies with the ceasefire deal, as it always and constantly encroaches on Cambodian territory.

[Channtha So @channthaso]

@ritthyou It seems a weakness of Cambodia to aggressors.

@araghchi Iranian regime may have lost all opportunity to survive as domestic challenges mount and it lacks absolute support from counterparts such as Russia &China. US will continue to blockade the Strait of Hormuz strategy to collapse the Iranian regime as experienced to defeated Soviet.

#Trump’s flip-flops approach erode trust in #US traditional #allies, potentially undermining the US’s long-term #global leadership.

[Channtha So @channthaso]

Countries facing direct threats or severe energy disruptions from Iran's actions are increasingly aligning with the US to counter the Tehran regime, turning this into a broader energy security confrontation rather than just a bilateral US-Iran standoff.

[Channtha So @channthaso]

The entire strategy of closing the Strait of Hormuz is a suicide strategy for the Iranian regime, as it clearly declares war against the world.

This dynamic creates a state of managed contradiction, allowing for both political friction and functional cooperation.

The article examines the paradox of Cambodia-U.S. relations, highlighting how China’s support enables Cambodia to resist U.S. pressure on democracy and human rights while maintaining cooperation in other areas. https://t.co/pwWzeRAeSg

What #Trump should do is take #strategic action to ensure that the #Homoz sea roots are #safe for oil flow, thereby maintaining #global stability.

[Channtha So @channthaso]

Based on this statement, it is evident that Thailand is aggressively invading and never seeks peace.

[Channtha So @channthaso]

@thai If the #world believes the Thai FM's accusation that #Cambodia encroached on #Thai territory, it is the same as the world believing that #Ukraine #invaded #Russia.

[Channtha So @channthaso]

@Thai FM is lying to the world by claiming that Cambodia—small and poor—encroached on Thai territory based on his unilateral map. However, according to the Franco-Siamese treaty maps of 1904–1907, Thailand clearly invaded Cambodian territory.

[Channtha So @channthaso]

Regionally, Thailand's aggressive invasion of Cambodian territory—capturing civilian villages and properties, and bombing to destroy civilian infrastructure—constitutes acts of aggression that undermine and completely destroy ASEAN as a peaceful region.

[Channtha So @channthaso]

Thailand’s disproportionate use of force—including airstrikes and cluster munitions—along with its systematic rejection of peaceful resolutions, made the conflict catastrophic and constituted a violation of international law.
