Thailand's Foreign Minister accused Cambodia of distorting facts and portraying itself as a victim in their border dispute, contradicting earlier peace discussions at the UN.
He asserted that Cambodia's "far-fetched" allegations at the UN aimed to escalate a bilateral issue into an international conflict, despite shared ASEAN family ties.
Thailand cited Cambodia's historical disregard for encroachment protests and recent provocations, including cross-border firing and drone intrusions, as violations of sovereignty and ceasefire agreements.
Thailand reiterated its commitment to peace and dialogue through existing mechanisms but challenged Cambodia to choose between continued confrontation and cooperation.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
