Reports the Thai military rejecting Cambodian ceasefire-violation claims and reaffirming the General Border Committee (GBC) framework and the agreed Troop Deployment Line, the Thai account that it, not Phnom Penh, is honouring the December truce.
“The Thai military responded to Cambodia's ceasefire-violation claims, reaffirming its commitment to GBC guidelines and the agreed Troop Deployment Line.”
Thai Army position that JBC demarcation can only proceed once tensions de-escalate and the border is verified clear of landmines, the condition Cambodia reads as a stalling tactic, and the core of the current deadlock.
“The Thai Army urged Cambodia to de-escalate and clear mines before Joint Boundary Commission talks could proceed.”
