Tension is rising between Cambodia and Thailand. A protest happened outside the Cambodian embassy in Bangkok. The protesters were a group of Thai students and citizens. They claimed Cambodia violated Thailand’s sovereignty.
Cambodia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson, Chum Sounry, responded. He denied the allegations, saying Cambodia did not violate Thailand’s sovereignty. Instead, he claimed Thailand was the one that violated Cambodia’s sovereignty.
The incident started on May 28. Cambodia accused the Thai army of firing at one of their military bases. The base is located in a village called Techo Morokot, in the Preah Vihear province of Cambodia.
Chum Sounry also said Thailand broke a 2000 agreement. The agreement aimed to promote peace and stability in the border area. Despite the protest, the Cambodian embassy in Bangkok remains open. It continues to provide services to Cambodian citizens and foreigners.
The situation is still unfolding. The Cambodian government has made it clear that they will not back down. They insist that Thailand must respect their sovereignty.
According to Thmey Thmey, the protest was organized by a network of students and citizens. They are demanding that Cambodia respect Thailand’s borders.
The Cambodian government has denied any wrongdoing. They claim that Thailand is trying to provoke them. The situation remains tense, with both sides refusing to back down.
In a statement, Chum Sounry said, “Cambodia condemns the false accusations made by the Thai protesters.” He added, “We will not tolerate any violation of our sovereignty.”
The incident has sparked concerns about regional stability. The border between Cambodia and Thailand has been a source of tension for years. The latest incident has raised fears of further conflict.
For now, the situation remains uncertain. The Cambodian government has made it clear that they will defend their sovereignty at all costs. The Thai government has not yet responded to the allegations.
As the situation continues to unfold, one thing is clear: the relationship between Cambodia and Thailand has reached a boiling point.
