Phnom Penh: Government Spokesperson Pen Bona said that after the two ceasefire agreements, Cambodia’s JBC sent 42 diplomatic notes to the Thai side.
In a daily briefing on the Cambodia-Thai border situation on June 22, 2026, Pen Bona said that since the second ceasefire came into effect on December 27, 2025, the Cambodian JBC alone has sent 9 diplomatic notes to the Thai side to request a special meeting of the Cambodia-Thai JBC and to request the dispatch of Joint Survey Teams (JSTs) to continue to carry out practical work on the ground, continuing the work that both sides have carried out in the past.
He said In addition, the Cambodian JBC has also lodged 32 diplomatic representations against the illegal activities of Thai forces on the positions they illegally occupy in Cambodian territory. Since the first ceasefire, which came into effect on July 28, 2025, the Cambodian JBC has lodged 42 diplomatic representations against the violations by the Thai side.
The spokesperson stated that “Taking this opportunity, the Royal Government Spokesperson would like to reiterate to the Cambodian people that this official protest is essential to confirm Cambodia’s absolute opposition to the Thai side’s violations of its territorial integrity.”
He added that these official protest letters are documents of legal value and indispensable for the process of resolving border issues in accordance with international law, as well as maintaining the jurisdiction of the dispute in force. This is why the Royal Government of Cambodia always protests at all points that the Thai side has violated without skipping any point, because this protest is legal evidence to resolve the issue of territorial integrity through legal mechanisms.
The spokesperson further stated that Cambodia’s proposal to organize a special meeting of the Cambodia-Thailand JBC and to send Joint Survey Teams (JSTs) to continue to carry out practical work on the ground is made in accordance with the contents of the minutes of the special meeting of the Cambodia-Thailand JBC dated October 22, 2025 and the spirit of the joint declaration of the 3rd special meeting of the General Boundary Committee (GBC) dated December 27, 2025, in point 3, which gives the highest priority to the JBCs of both sides to continue to survey and demarcate the actual land boundary as soon as possible to allow people to return to their homes as soon as possible without hindrance, in safety and dignity.
