Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet announced direct cooperation with South Korea to combat technology-based online scams, following discussions with South Korea's Second Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs, Kim Jina.
The initiative comes after a South Korean national was murdered in Kampot, highlighting the urgency to address transnational crime and online fraud.
Hun Manet explicitly rejected any offer of cooperation from Thailand in these efforts, stating that Cambodia and South Korea possess sufficient bilateral capacity to resolve the problem.
He advised Thai leaders to focus on their own internal issues rather than intervening in Cambodia's cooperative efforts with South Korea.

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.
