Hun Manet Talks Sovereignty and Cyber Scams in Tense Thai-Cambodia Relations

In a bold statement, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet accused Thai forces of encroaching on Cambodian territory, defying a U.S.-brokered peace agreement. This claim comes after recent unrest along the border, which has displaced thousands. He called for a joint boundary commission to resolve the matter.

Hun Manet, speaking in Washington during a meeting of Trump's Board of Peace, highlighted Cambodia's efforts to improve ties with the U.S. amid ongoing border disputes with Thailand. He underscored the urgency of commencing demarcation work, especially after recent Thai elections.

Alongside territorial issues, Hun Manet addressed the growing concern over cyber scams in Cambodia. He revealed efforts to combat these illegal activities, which include preparing new legislation and deporting foreign scammers. His administration maintains that these issues are not unique to Cambodia.
