According to the Cambodian side, the meeting was held at the invitation of the RBC Secretariat of the Cambodia Fourth Military Region. During the meeting, the two sides focused their discussions on how to continue implementing the joint statement of the third special meeting of the Cambodia-Thailand General Border Committee (GBC) held on December 27, 2025.
They also exchanged views on strengthening coordination of border operations, addressing related issues, and promoting the restoration of mutual trust, hoping to maintain communication through existing mechanisms to reduce misunderstandings and differences in border affairs.
The Cambodian Ministry of National Defense reaffirmed that Cambodia will continue to implement the December 27, 2025 GBC joint statement, the October 26, 2025 joint statement on the Cambodia-Thailand peace agreement, and other related agreements, and will work to gradually return the border situation to normal.

This meeting also shows that the two sides continue to maintain border dialogue through existing mechanisms.
