Samdech Moha Borvor Thipadei Hun Manet, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia, has rejected comments circulating on social media alleging that the ceasefire agreement of July 28, 2025, and the upcoming peace agreement are part of a deal causing Cambodia to lose land.
In a post on his official social media page this morning, the Premier clarified that the July 28 ceasefire agreement only sets out conditions and a code of conduct aimed at preventing the resumption of hostilities.
He explained that the forthcoming peace agreement will focus on establishing conditions and mechanisms to ensure a conducive environment for ending the conflict and restoring relations between countries.
Samdech Thipadei stressed that neither of these agreements mentions any territorial or boundary issues. However, this does not mean that either party has agreed to give up its legal rights to control areas within its sovereignty.
He added that demarcation and border marker planting fall under the jurisdiction of the Cambodia–Thailand Joint Boundary Commission (JBC), which continues to address such matters peacefully and in accordance with existing treaties, conventions, and agreements between the two nations.
“In short, I would like to clarify to my compatriots that:
1. Cambodia has not entered into any agreement, including the ceasefire agreement (July 28, 2025) and the peace agreement (to be signed in the future), that would result in the loss of Cambodia’s sovereignty or territorial integrity.
2. The Royal Government of Cambodia has never forgotten nor abandoned its legal obligations and rights to safeguard the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the nation,” he concluded.
