Cambodia rejects Thai media claims of preparing for armed conflict
Cambodia has rejected recent Thai media reporting that it is preparing for a third armed clash with Thailand, describing such claims as incorrect and baseless.
On 25 March 2026 Cambodia formally rejected Thai media assertions that the country is preparing for a renewed armed conflict along the contested border. The Cambodian government characterized the reports as false and misleading, insisting that it remains committed to peaceful resolution of the dispute. Officials emphasized adherence to previous ceasefire arrangements and called on Thailand to avoid inflammatory narratives that could escalate tensions. The exchange underscores ongoing friction over demarcation and sovereignty despite repeated diplomatic efforts to de‑escalate the situation.
