Cambodia disputes Thai claim of land encroachment in Sa Kaeo

10 Sept 14:10 Key points summarised by AI

Cambodia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs challenges Thailand's claim of land encroachment by Cambodian villagers in Sa Kaeo province, asserting the disputed area (Prey Chan/Ban Nong Ya Kaeo) remains undemarcated.
Cambodia states its citizens have long inhabited the land, even before the 2000 MOU 43, which dictates maintaining the status quo until formal border demarcation is complete.
Cambodia accuses Thailand of distorting facts regarding the territory and calls for compliance with ceasefire agreements, urging a halt to eviction plans and resolution through the Joint Boundary Commission.
