Thailand calls for global push on Cambodia to cooperate in demining

14 Sept 00:20 Key points summarised by AI

Thailand's Foreign Minister urged the international community, especially Ottawa Convention state parties, to press Cambodia for joint demining operations covering both old and newly laid mines.
Thailand presented "undisputable and verifiable evidence" to envoys from 33 countries, accusing Cambodia of deliberately violating the Ottawa Convention by newly laying anti-personnel landmines.
The evidence highlighted the humanitarian toll, including severe injuries and permanent disabilities to Thai soldiers from these new mines, directly refuting Cambodia's claims of old, un-cleared mines.
Thailand called for Cambodia to demonstrate sincerity by accepting a proposal for joint demining at a special General Border Committee (GBC) meeting and to cease spreading "distorted information."

Thailand's Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul initiated a nationwide crackdown on illegal Thai nominee shareholders in foreign-run businesses and land holdings to safeguard national interests.
The government will integrate efforts across all relevant agencies to target illicit foreign operations, forced sales of illegally acquired property, and high-risk land ownership schemes.
Key strategies include auditing suspect land and building holdings, establishing a long-term monitoring system, and cross-referencing data from various authorities to trace ultimate beneficial owners.
Prime Minister Anutin emphasized that no influential figures or corrupt officials are above the law, promising straightforward prosecution, asset seizures, and protection for enforcing officers.
Beyond land ownership, the integrated crackdown will also extend to tackle transnational crimes, including drug and human trafficking.
