Anutin government plans referendum on Thai-Cambodian MoUs

15 Sept 05:28 Key points summarised by AI

The Anutin government plans a national referendum, empowering the public to decide on the cancellation of specific Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with Cambodia.
This policy aims to urgently resolve long-standing border disputes through diplomatic means, safeguarding national sovereignty and border security.
The focus is on the 2000 MoU (land boundary demarcation) and the 2001 MoU (overlapping maritime claims and energy cooperation), both facing calls for revocation.
Criticism centers on alleged violations of the 2000 MoU and the 2001 MoU's attached map, which Cambodia reportedly uses to assert claims over Thai territory like Kut Island.
