November 10, 2026
Q1: How significant is U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s reference to the Kuala Lumpur Peace Accords in relation to the Cambodia–Thailand border issue?
A: U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s reference to the Kuala Lumpur Peace Accords underscores that the United States continues to keep the peace process between Cambodia and Thailand firmly in mind and closely monitor its progress.
His message also underscores the significance of the Accords in opening up new opportunities to de-escalate tensions, build lasting peace, and strengthen economic cooperation between the two countries.
For Cambodia, support from international partners serves as an important source of encouragement for both Cambodia and Thailand to continue upholding and implementing the Accords, while resolving outstanding border issues through peaceful means and in accordance with international law.
Q: Has Cambodia consistently respected and faithfully implemented the Kuala Lumpur Peace Accords?
A: Cambodia has repeatedly reaffirmed its commitment to respecting and implementing the Kuala Lumpur Peace Accords, as well as other relevant agreements, in good faith and with consistency. Cambodia remains firmly committed to the peaceful settlement of disputes and to using mechanisms mutually agreed upon by Cambodia and Thailand.
In practice, Cambodia has continued to support and cooperate with the ASEAN Observer Team (AOT) in observing, documenting, and verifying the implementation of the ceasefire on the ground along the border areas. The AOT has also visited and engaged with displaced civilians who remain unable to return to their homes due to restrictions imposed by the Thai military.
Furthermore, Cambodia remains committed to promoting military de-escalation, fostering mutual trust, and resolving border issues through established bilateral mechanisms, including the Regional Border Committee (RBC), General Border Committee (GBC), and Joint Boundary Commission (JBC), each operating within its respective mandate.
In particular, Cambodia has consistently pushed for the commencement of land boundary surveying and demarcation, while firmly upholding the principle of refraining from the threat or use of force.
