Q1: What is Cambodia’s stance on the visit of the Thai Prime Minister to the An Seh area in Preah Vihear province?

A: Cambodia has lodged the strongest official protest against this unauthorized visit, as the An Seh area lies within Cambodian territory. Cambodia regards this action as a deliberate attempt to assert an unlawful unilateral claim and as a violation of Cambodia’s sovereignty.

Q2: Can the Thai Prime Minister’s visit alter the border line or establish territorial rights?

A: No, it cannot. No visit or use of unilaterally drawn maps can alter the internationally recognized border line. Cambodia absolutely does not recognize any border line or territorial claims made unilaterally by Thailand, and this visit does not affect Cambodia’s legal rights or position regarding its international border.

Q3: What impact does this action have on the situation along the Cambodia-Thailand border?

A: Such unilateral actions could escalate tensions and contradict the principles of maintaining the status quo and reducing tensions along the border. Therefore, Cambodia has demanded that Thailand cease such actions in order to build mutual trust and to create favorable conditions for the peaceful resolution of border issues.
