Regarding the Royal Government’s Concern for Displaced Persons
August 10, 2026
Q1: What has the Royal Government done to ensure the safety and livelihoods of citizens who have not yet been able to return to their homes?
A: The Royal Government has facilitated the return of citizens where security conditions permit and has arranged appropriate temporary shelters for those who are unable to return due to continued obstruction by Thai forces. At the same time, ministries, institutions, and local authorities have continued to address various challenges and maintain the stability of citizens’ livelihoods until they can safely return to their homes.
Q2: What solutions is Cambodia pushing for to enable affected citizens to return home safely?
A: Cambodia is urging the Thai side to implement existing agreements and resume the work of the Joint Boundary Commission (JBC) as soon as possible, in particular the survey and demarcation of the border in areas where civilians have been affected. This work aims not only to resolve border issues but also to create clear and safe conditions for the return of affected citizens.
Q3: How important is the resolution of border issues through the Joint Boundary Commission (JBC) for the return of displaced persons?
A: The resumption of JBC work is crucial in creating clear and safe conditions for citizens who have not yet been able to return home. Through the survey and demarcation of the border in affected areas, particularly in areas where civilians reside, it will help reduce uncertainty and establish the conditions necessary for the safe and unhindered return of citizens to their homes and livelihoods. Therefore, the resumption of JBC work is a crucial step toward achieving a peaceful resolution to both the border issues and the situation of displaced persons, while ensuring lasting peace along the border.
