Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul emphasized that full diplomatic normalization is not immediate and depends on Cambodia's full compliance with all conditions outlined in the declaration.
The agreement includes immediate coordination between Thai and Cambodian militaries to begin clearing disputed border areas, aiming to resolve long-standing territorial issues.
Anutin noted that the international community's awareness of the commitments makes non-compliance by either party challenging, ensuring accountability.
