Cambodia’s PM adviser calls for diplomacy amid renewed border clashes with Thailand

Suos Yara, Senior Adviser to the Cambodian Prime Minister, appeared on FRANCE 24 to discuss the ongoing clashes between Cambodia and Thailand, involving military artillery. He stressed Cambodia’s openness to diplomatic dialogue and mediation, welcoming international efforts, including those from US President Donald Trump. However, Yara pointed out that, from Cambodia’s perspective, the root cause lies in Thailand’s actions, particularly its use of a unilateral map to fuel public misperceptions. He also denied the use of landmines at the border.
