Thailand Cambodia conflict ceasefire response
Thailand has vowed to continue its military response against Cambodia just hours after former United States President Donald Trump called for a ceasefire between the two countries. Thai authorities said their actions are aimed at defending national sovereignty and protecting citizens amid rising tensions along the disputed border areas.
Thai officials explained that the situation on the ground remains volatile, with security threats still present despite calls for restraint. They insisted that any pause in operations must be based on clear guarantees of safety and respect for territorial boundaries. According to the government, Thailand cannot afford to lower its guard while unresolved issues and active threats persist.
The renewed fighting follows a series of clashes that have heightened diplomatic and military strain between the two Southeast Asian neighbours. While Trump’s ceasefire appeal drew international attention, Thai leaders stressed that external statements alone cannot resolve long-standing disputes without concrete actions from all sides involved.
Cambodia has not immediately responded to Thailand’s latest remarks, but regional observers warn that continued hostilities could further destabilise the area. The situation has renewed calls from international partners for dialogue and mediation, as concerns grow over civilian safety and regional security if the conflict escalates further.
