Cambodia wants 'de-escalation' in conflict with Thailand – PM

Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Manet expressed his desire for de-escalation and a peaceful resolution to the country's border conflict with Thailand, in response to allegations made by Bangkok earlier this week that Phnom Penh had violated the December truce.

Manet stated that Cambodia's goal was to resolve the situation through dialogue and diplomacy rather than force. He also affirmed his government's commitment to preserving the integrity of its national borders, which have been a source of tension between the two countries for some time.

The border dispute between Thailand and Cambodia has been ongoing since 2008 when the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled in favor of Cambodia over sovereignty claims related to the Preah Vihear Temple. Since then there have been several incidents along their shared border which include violent confrontations involving military forces from each nation.

Thailand accused its neighbor this week after Thai soldiers were injured by landmines while conducting patrols within disputed territory near the temple itself. According to reports, Phnom Penh denied any involvement but acknowledged that such devices could potentially still exist due to past conflicts between these two countries.

Despite these tensions however both sides agree that dialogue remains key moving forward as they seek peaceful resolutions without resorting too extreme measures like violence or military action. Prime Minister Manet indicated he would be willing work with Thai counterparts directly via official diplomatic channels in order achieve this end goal peacefully and effectively resolving all issues surrounding territorial disputes once and for all.
