On the morning of October 1, 2026, the Cambodia Liaison Group (CLG) coordinated with the ASEAN Observer Team in Cambodia (AOT-KH) to observe, verify, and report on the situation along the Cambodia-Thailand border at Border Marker No. 27, located in Thma Romeal Lech village, Banteay Chhmar commune, Thma Puok district, Banteay Meanchey province.
The observation aims to provide ASEAN observers with in-depth, firsthand understanding of the situation at the border markers agreed upon by Cambodia and Thailand, and to present the position of the Royal Government of Cambodia, which consistently upholds the peaceful resolution of border issues through dialogue and bilateral mechanisms, in line with international law, existing bilateral accords, and the framework of the Joint Boundary Commission (JBC).
Cambodia remains firm in defending the international Cambodia-Thailand border as left by the Indochina–Siam Boundary Commission, respecting international law, the principle of uti possidetis juris (the inviolability of borders), and adhering to the conventions, the Franco-Siamese treaties, the boundary protocol, and the maps produced as the outcome of the boundary demarcation work of the Indochina–Siam Boundary Commission, the meeting minutes and the minutes on the installation of boundary markers of the Indochina–Siam Boundary Commission, the 2000 MOU and the 2003 TOR, as well as agreements and related documents mutually endorsed by the two sides, in order to resolve the dispute peacefully and achieve lasting peace between the two countries.
