Thailand has continued its efforts to provide facts and accurate information about the Thailand-Cambodia border situation through bilateral and multilateral diplomatic channels to ensure better understanding across the international community. 

According to a report from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on 4 August 2025, Mr. Sarun Charoensuwan, Ambassador of Thailand to France, met with Mr. Benoît Guidée, Director-General for Asia and Oceania, Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs of France, to brief him on the Thailand-Cambodia border situation.

Mr. Sarun stressed that Thailand has consistently pursued a restrained and peaceful approach to resolving the issue, while the Cambodian side initiated the attacks, especially against Thai civilians. Thailand’s response has been limited strictly to Cambodian military targets. Currently, both sides are engaging in negotiations under the General Border Committee (GBC) framework, aiming for a peaceful resolution.

On 30 July, Ms. Arunrung Phothong Humphreys, Ambassador of Thailand to Sweden, met with Mr. Daniel Wolven, Head of Department of Asia, the Pacific Region and Latin America, Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Sweden. The Ambassador clarified the situation, including the use of Gripen aircraft to neutralize precise military targets, as well as how Cambodia violated the ceasefire agreement. 

She affirmed that Thailand acted in line with the right to self-defense under international law and remains committed to a peaceful resolution. The Swedish side confirmed that the sale of Gripen aircraft to Thailand has not been suspended as falsely reported.

On 31 July, Ms. Jantarat Ngamchana, Minister at the Royal Thai Embassy in Rome, met with Ms. Valentina Muiesan, Director of the Southeast Asia and Pacific Division, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Italy, to emphasize that Cambodia violated the ceasefire agreement, and informed her of further developments in the situation.

The Royal Thai Embassies in Singapore, Sweden, Indonesia, and Kuwait reached out to local news agencies that reported incorrect information or photos about the situation, providing facts and evidence of the affected areas. The Embassies also requested the agencies to verify the information to ensure accurate reporting.

Meanwhile, on 5 August, officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs joined the visit to Cambodian prisoners of war (POWs) by the Regional Delegation of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) as observers. The Royal Thai Army granted access to the ICRC in Bangkok to visit 18 Cambodian POWs at the detention facility. It facilitated the ICRC to freely speak with the POWs in private and conduct physical check-up. The visit of the ICRC aimed to obtain information on the well-being of the Cambodian POWs and restore and preserve links between POWs and their families in Cambodia.

The Royal Thai Army reaffirmed that all 18 Cambodian POWs under custody are in good health, without any injury. It has provided care for the POWs in accordance with the international humanitarian law. This includes the provision of three meals per day, dormitories with bedding, water and sanitation, as well as medic sergeant stationed at the detention facility for medical care and health checks. They have been well taken care of, without any acts of torture, as falsely alleged or misinformation circulated.

As the situation along the Thai-Cambodian border is still under a ceasefire agreement, it is therefore necessary to prevent these POWs from being forced to re-engage in combat. They will be released and repatriated without delay after the end of hostilities.

The Thai government reaffirms its readiness to cooperate with the ICRC and emphasizes the transparency in its operations, including the treatment of POWs in full respect of human dignity and in accordance with relevant international practices.
