Thailand’s Ruling Party Pledges Swift Resolution of Cambodia Dispute Ahead of Election
Government leaders stress diplomacy and stability as cross-border issue takes prominence in the final stretch of the campaign
Thailand’s ruling party has pledged to resolve a simmering dispute with neighbouring Cambodia through firm but constructive diplomacy as the country moves toward a closely watched general election.
Senior party figures said the government is committed to safeguarding national interests while maintaining regional stability, emphasising dialogue and established bilateral mechanisms to prevent escalation.
The issue, which has gained renewed public attention during the campaign period, centres on cross-border sensitivities that officials say require calm leadership and coordinated engagement rather than political posturing.
Party leaders have highlighted Thailand’s long-standing diplomatic channels with Phnom Penh and expressed confidence that existing frameworks can deliver a practical solution in a timely manner.
The government has framed its approach as one of responsible stewardship, arguing that continuity in leadership is essential to manage sensitive foreign policy matters effectively.
Officials have also stressed that Thailand’s economic ties and people-to-people exchanges with Cambodia remain strong, and that resolving outstanding issues would further support trade, tourism and border communities.
As campaigning intensifies, the ruling party has positioned itself as best placed to manage external relations without disrupting domestic stability, pointing to its experience in government and its record of regional engagement.
The pledge to address the Cambodia row forms part of a broader election message focused on security, economic confidence and Thailand’s role as a steady partner within Southeast Asia.
