Cambodia Accuses Thailand of Border Occupation; Thailand Denies Claims Amid Truce

Cambodia claims Thai troops continue to occupy civilian areas in at least four border locations, despite a December truce. Cambodia's Foreign Minister Prak Sokhonn expressed hope for Thailand's commitment to the ceasefire, emphasizing the need to resolve these issues for displaced citizens. Thailand's Foreign Ministry, however, dismissed the accusations as baseless, stating troop positions are part of de-escalation and not occupation. The two nations are preparing for Joint Boundary Commission talks, though Thailand indicated they would occur after a new government is formed following an upcoming election.
