AKP Phnom Penh, June 08, 2025 —

Minister of Information H.E. Neth Pheaktra has urged the Cambodian public to remain informed about the evolving situation along the Cambodia-Thailand border, while simultaneously cautioning against panic and the spread of misinformation.

In a message released on his official social media page, Minister Pheaktra advised: "I encourage all citizens to continue following updates related to the Cambodia-Thailand border situation. However, please do not panic."

He underscored the importance of public trust in the nation's leadership, adding: "Please place your trust in the country’s leadership—Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen, President of the Senate, and Samdech Moha Borvor Thipadei Hun Manet, Prime Minister—who are addressing this matter with intelligence, legal grounding in international law, and a strong commitment to peace and national interest."

Minister Pheaktra also issued a stern warning against the dangers of fake news, historical distortions, and incitement, noting their potential to mislead and sow confusion. He called upon journalists and the public alike to adhere strictly to professional ethics—emphasising accuracy, integrity, and responsibility—by verifying all information before believing, sharing, or publishing it.

He identified three key official sources for accurate and reliable information: The Royal Government of Cambodia, including the official Facebook pages of Samdech Techo and Samdech Thipadei; the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation; the Ministry of National Defence.

Reaffirming Cambodia's steadfast commitment to peace, H.E. Neth Pheaktra concluded: "In order to preserve peace, foster good neighbourly relations, and prevent conflict, Cambodia has brought the border issue involving Mom Bei area; Ta Moan Thom, Ta Moan Tauch and Ta Krabei Temples to the International Court of Justice (ICJ), seeking a fair, just, and lasting resolution."
