On September 10, Cambodia and Thailand reaffirmed their commitment to peace and stability along the border at the first Special Session of the Cambodia - Thailand Joint Border Committee (GBC), held in Koh Kong Province, Cambodia.
The meeting was co-chaired by Cambodian Defense Minister tea seiha, General tea seiha, and Thai counterpart Nattaphon Nakphanit, where the two sides agreed to ease tensions.
The Cambodian Ministry of National Defense emphasized that this result demonstrates a strong commitment to thoroughly and effectively implementing the provisions of previous agreements.
"Both sides have agreed on the urgent need to reduce the escalation of tensions by withdrawing heavy and destructive weapons back to military facilities," Cambodia said.
The statement also noted that Thailand and Cambodia are committed to "resolving issues peacefully and preventing clashes", adding that both sides "affected that enhancing communication at all levels is necessary to build mutual trust and promote good neighborliness".
This meeting is a follow-up to the extraordinary GBC meeting in Malaysia on August 7, 2025, where both countries have reached a 13-point agreement to reduce tensions and ensure compliance with the ceasefire.
The meeting came after clashes in July that left dozens dead and injured.
On July 28, during a three-way meeting with Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, the two neighbors agreed an unconditional ceasefire after weeks of fighting.
Both sides later reached a 13-point agreement on August 7, which would allow ASEAN observers to monitor a ceasefire along the disputed border.
