Strategy to normalise Thai-Cambodia ties

A new report by the Institute of Strategic Policy (ISP) outlines a comprehensive strategy to achieve long-term diplomatic normalisation between Thailand and Cambodia, addressing persistent border friction.
The strategy begins with immediate de-escalation, enforcing strict troop stand-downs in contested zones, and empowering independent ASEAN observers to verify ceasefire compliance.
It emphasizes building confidence through direct media and diplomatic channels to combat disinformation, curb hostile rhetoric, and rebuild official trust between the nations.
For lasting stability, the plan calls for long-term institutional coexistence, including joint management of contested cultural sites, restoring local cross-border trade, and fostering shared regional economic interests.
