Press Briefing – The Outcomes of the Cambodia-Thailand Extraordinary Regional Border Committee (RBC) Meeting on 16 August 2025, Trat Province, Kingdom of Thailand

Keynote Address by H.E. Pen Bona, Spokesperson for the Royal Government of Cambodia:
11:00AM, August 17, 2025
In the capacity of the spokesperson for the Royal Government, I would like to highlight a few key points as follows:
1. To all Cambodian fellow citizens, both at home and abroad, please remain cautious against false information that is widely circulated on social media and even official news channels. Such false information aims to tarnish the reputation of Cambodian leadership and the country as a whole, as well as to sow disharmony and undermine our national unity, which is the robust shield defending our territorial integrity. Therefore, please rely on accurate information disseminated through official channels from our top leaders, including the spokespersons Team and authorized and verified sources from relevant ministries and institutions.
2. The Peace-loving hearts of the Cambodian leadership echo with its citizens voicing for peace, a plea to the international community and world leaders, urging all to see the truth in the border conflict between Cambodia and Thailand.
Cambodians’ call for maintaining peace and justice is being heard by the world, clearly indicating the government’s active diplomacy is in unison with the patriotic efforts of its people.
3. As a nation of high civilization, I would like to call on Cambodian citizens to exercise patience, maintain dignity, maturity, and remain steadfast in their trust in our country’s leadership to achieve peace, and safeguarding our sovereignty and territorial integrity.
