Cambodia Urges Swift Implementation of Border Demarcation Agreement with Thailand
AKP Phnom Penh, April 11, 2026 —
Cambodia has called on Thailand to continue upholding and fully implementing the agreements reached under the Joint Statement (JS) of the 3rd Special General Border Committee (GBC) Meeting, following the ceasefire agreed in December 2025.
In a statement posted on his official social media platforms this evening, Cambodian Prime Minister Samdech Moha Borvor Thipadei Hun Manet said that since ceasefire in December both Cambodia and Thailand have always declared respect and adherence to the agreements reached in the JS of the 3rd Special GBC Meeting between the Kingdom of Cambodia and the Kingdom of Thailand on Dec. 27, 2025.
For this reason, he continued, Cambodia hopes that Thailand will continue to adhere to the implementations of the JS agreement, in particular Point #3 which states that ÷ "Both sides agree that all arrangements under this Joint Statement are without prejudice to the border demarcation and international boundary between the two countries. Both sides agree to refer to the Joint Boundary Commission to resume, at the earliest, the survey and demarcation works, in accordance with existing agreements between the two countries to achieve lasting peace along the border. Both sides agree to utilise Joint Boundary Commission’s existing mechanisms to ensure safety and security of the joint survey team on the ground, including its safety from landmines. Both sides agree that the Joint Boundary Commission will accord the first and foremost priority for the immediate survey and demarcation works in the affected border areas where the civilians resided."
In this context, Cambodia expressed strong hope that the Joint Border Commissions of both countries can begin implementing works, as agreed in JS (Point Number 3), quickly and with sincerity, so that both countries can properly and clearly demarcate their border in a peaceful manner.
“This will be foundation for long-lasting peace that would allow our people living a long shared border to live peacefully,” the Cambodian Premier emphasised.
