Thailand has called for a durable ceasefire along its border with Cambodia and urged Phnom Penh to avoid steps that could complicate efforts to restore stability following months of tension between the two neighbours.

Speaking in Bangkok, Thailand’s foreign minister said the government is committed to building a sustainable truce and reviving trust between the two countries after periods of armed confrontation along their shared frontier.

He stressed that Thailand’s priority is to move forward constructively and re-establish normal bilateral relations.

The remarks come after a series of clashes in 2025 that marked the most serious escalation along the Thailand-Cambodia border in more than a decade.

Fighting in several contested areas resulted in casualties and widespread displacement before regional diplomacy and bilateral negotiations produced a ceasefire agreement aimed at halting hostilities and stabilising the situation.

Under that arrangement, both countries agreed to suspend military attacks and maintain existing troop positions while discussions continued through established bilateral mechanisms, including the General Border Committee and other joint coordination bodies designed to manage incidents along the frontier.

Thailand has repeatedly emphasised that dialogue and cooperation remain the most effective path to resolving long-standing territorial disagreements.

Officials in Bangkok say the country remains fully committed to implementing the ceasefire and working through diplomatic channels to prevent further confrontation.

At the same time, Thai authorities have expressed concern that certain statements and actions from Cambodia risk complicating the situation at a sensitive moment.

Bangkok has urged Phnom Penh to support confidence-building measures and refrain from moves that could heighten tensions or undermine ongoing negotiations.

The border between the two Southeast Asian neighbours stretches for roughly eight hundred kilometres and has been the subject of overlapping territorial claims dating back to colonial-era maps and agreements.

While both sides have sought to manage the dispute through bilateral talks and regional engagement, flare-ups periodically occur in contested zones near historic temple sites and remote frontier areas.

Regional actors and international partners have welcomed the ceasefire framework and encouraged both governments to maintain restraint while pursuing diplomatic solutions.

Thailand has reiterated that its objective is a stable and peaceful frontier, with cooperation and dialogue guiding the next phase of relations between the two countries.
