The visit also examined implementation of the Cambodia–Thailand ceasefire that took effect at noon on December 27, 2025.
The ministry said that, since the ceasefire took effect, Cambodia’s government and Defence Ministry had consistently made clear commitments to fully, strictly and responsibly respect the joint declaration of the third special Cambodia–Thailand General Border Committee meeting on December 27, 2025, the October 26, 2025 joint statement on the Cambodia–Thailand peace agreement and other related agreements. The aim was early improvement and a return to normality, peace, stability and lasting safety along the border.
