President of the Cambodian Senate and Chairman of the Cambodian People's Party, Hun Sen, stated on the 7th that Cambodia is committed to strictly and fully implementing the ceasefire agreement reached with Thailand, in order to restore peace between the two countries.
He pointed out that restoring peace between Cambodia and Thailand would also contribute to the peace, security, stability, and prosperity of the region.
Hun Sen said: “Cambodia extends its deepest gratitude to all friendly nations and the international community, especially the United States, China, and the ASEAN member states under the coordination of then ASEAN rotating chair Malaysia, for their active assistance and participation in seeking a peaceful solution.”
The Cambodian Ministry of Defense stated on the 6th that while their troops were conducting maintenance operations, “an explosion occurred in a pile of garbage,” resulting in two Cambodian soldiers being injured.
The Thai military once accused the Cambodian side of violating the ceasefire statement, claiming that at around 7:25 am on the 6th, grenades were fired in the border area, injuring one Thai soldier. The Thai military later stated that Cambodia “had no intention of firing into Thai territory” and said that “this incident was caused by operational error by Cambodian personnel.”
