AKP Phnom Penh, July 24, 2025 —

Prime Minister Samdech Moha Borvor Thipadei Hun Manet has reaffirmed the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces’ unwavering commitment to defending the nation’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, and supreme national interests.

“The Royal Government of Cambodia, relevant ministries and institutions, provincial administrations, and especially the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces have been working actively and courageously to safeguard the sovereignty, territorial integrity, and core interests of our nation—both on military and diplomatic fronts—while also assisting citizens affected by the Thai army’s current aggression,” the Premier said in a statement on his official social media platform this morning.

Samdech Thipadei called on all Cambodian citizens to remain calm and place their trust in the government and armed forces, who are standing on the front lines to protect the homeland.

“Please stay calm, composed, and continue your daily work as usual,” he urged.

According to the Prime Minister, on the morning of Thursday, July 24, 2025, the Thai army launched attacks on Cambodian military positions at Prasat Ta Mone Thom and Prasat Ta Krabey in Oddar Meanchey province, and later expanded the offensive to the Mom Bei area.

“Cambodia has consistently adhered to peaceful means of resolving disputes, but in this instance, we have no choice but to respond with armed force to armed aggression,” stressed Samdech Thipadei.
