This follows the recent entry into effect of a ceasefire agreement between Cambodia and Thailand.
Since the ceasefire began, Cambodia has maintained a firm commitment to fully respect and implement the agreements aimed at peaceful resolution and border stability.
Scope of Application
This verification activity concerns the border area between Cambodia and Thailand, specifically the territory under dispute or sensitive areas near Chor 1, Veal Veng District, Pursat Province.
Key Provisions or Decisions
- Facilitation of ASEAN observers by the Cambodian Liaison Group for field verification.
- Continuous implementation of the ceasefire agreement effective from the recent date prior to February 6, 2026.

- Compliance with the Joint Statement from the 3rd Special Meeting of the Cambodia-Thailand General Border Committee (GBC) held on December 27, 2025.
Implications for Investors, Businesses, or Compliance
