AKP Phnom Penh, August 05, 2025 --

This is a crucial moment for both parties – Cambodia and Thailand – to demonstrate genuine commitment, sincerity, and goodwill in the effective implementation of the ceasefire agreement. 

The statement was highlighted by H.E. Pen Bona, Head of the Royal Government Spokesperson Unit, in a press briefing this afternoon, stressing, “Only through such efforts can we preserve peace and ensure the safety and well-being of the people in both countries.” 
He added that if the Thai side has issues to address with its own citizens, it should resolve those matters internally. There is no need to shift blame onto Cambodia by spreading false information, a tactic that is no longer effective in an era where the public is well-informed and vigilant.

H.E. Pen Bona noticed that recently, Thai officials, both civilian and military, as well as certain media outlets, have deliberately fabricated and disseminated false information with the clear intent to discredit the Royal Government and the leaders of Cambodia. “These malicious actions appear to be a calculated attempt to incite public resentment toward our leaders and to undermine the strong sense of national unity that binds the Cambodian people. Another important point to note is that those who are creating fake news are now shifting the blame by accusing Cambodia of spreading disinformation, an obvious attempt to cover up their own actions,” he said.

The Government Spokesperson underlined that the Cambodian people have a clear understanding of the situation and are fully capable of discerning right from wrong. Therefore, any attempt to spread misinformation or falsely accuse the Cambodian leaders in an effort to sow division between the people and their leaders is doomed to fail. Such malicious actions will only strengthen national unity, as Cambodians remain steadfast in their commitment to safeguarding their sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the dignity of all citizens against insults and provocations. 
H.E. Pen Bona firmly reaffirmed the unwavering unity of the Cambodian people, who stand in steadfast support of their courageous leaders and brave soldiers in the defense of the nation’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. “Baseless misinformation will have no effect whatsoever,” he concluded.
