Hun Manet calls for border demarcation and says US President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace could ‘play a role’.
Thailand continues to occupy parts of Cambodia after multiple ceasefire agreements ended months of deadly fighting late last year, Cambodia’s prime minister has said.
“We still have Thai forces occupy[ing] deep into Cambodian territory in many areas. This is further beyond even Thailand’s own unilateral claim,” Hun Manet said in an interview with the Reuters news agency on Tuesday while travelling to Washington, DC, to attend a meeting of United States President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace.
“This is not an accusation, but it’s a statement of the facts on the ground,” he said in his first interview with international media since taking over as prime minister from his father in 2023.
Thailand did not immediately respond to the claims. Thai military officials have previously said operations were limited to reclaiming areas within Thai territory.
Thai troops placed shipping containers and barbed wire inside areas that Thailand had previously recognised as Cambodian territory, he said, rendering about 80,000 people unable to return home.
