Cambodia urges resumption of joint boundary demarcation with Thailand to resolve outstanding claims

Son Pra, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of Cambodia, told the General Assembly that rebuilding trust with Thailand requires concrete measures and the "prompt resumption of the survey and demarcation work of the joint boundary commission". He tied demarcation to international-law compliance and to de-escalation of recent tensions.

The minister referenced prior instruments — named in the speech as the Kalamo joint declaration, the FEAN consensus and a joint statement dated 27 December 2025 — and urged good-faith implementation of those agreements. He said that geography binds Cambodia and Thailand as permanent neighbors and that a mutually recognized boundary would reduce friction between the two countries.
