Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet stated that Thai forces continue to occupy Cambodian territory following ceasefire agreements that ended deadly fighting in late 2025. Manet claimed Thai troops have encroached beyond even Thailand's own territorial claims, displacing approximately 80,000 people. These actions allegedly occurred after a protracted border conflict between the two countries. Manet urged Thailand to begin border demarcation through the Joint Boundary Commission. He made these remarks while traveling to Washington, D.C. for a meeting of U.S. President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace.
