I strongly condemn the unprovoked use of violence by the Thai side against innocent Cambodian civilians in Prey Chan Village in the afternoon of 12 November 2025, which resulted in injuries to three Cambodian civilians and the tragic loss of one life.
This act violates international humanitarian law and international law, and goes against humanitarian principles and the mutual agreement previously reached to resolve border issues through peaceful means—especially the agreement to allow the Joint Boundary Commission (JBC) to conduct survey and emplacement of temporary markers, and to maintain the status quo until the completion of the survey and a final decision by the JBC.
I call on the Thai side to immediately cease the use of force against innocent Cambodian civilians in Prey Chan Village and to refrain from any use of force in addressing border issues between our two countries.
I also call for an independent investigation into this incident and appeal for the participation of qualified international parties to uncover the truth and those responsible in order to deliver justice for the victims.
At the same time, I instructed the local authorities and all security forces to take urgent measures to protect our civilians—placing absolute priority on their safety and lives.
Cambodia remains committed to resolving this border issue peacefully, in accordance with the spirit of the Joint Declaration signed in Kuala Lumpur on 26 October 2025, with the goal of ending the conflict and building peace between our two nations.
