AKP Phnom Penh, July 19, 2025 --

Samdech Moha Borvor Thipadei Hun Manet, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia, has reiterated Cambodia’s firm stance on the reopening of border crossings with Thailand, emphasising a three-point policy that are clear and consistent.

The Prime Minister made the remarks in a social media post this afternoon, following the continued spread of false information and misinformation by extremist groups that has caused public confusion over the issue.

Samdech Thipadei underscored that Cambodia’s policy for reopening the border remains unchanged, outlined as follows:

1/ Thailand unilaterally declares the reopening of the border first and guarantees that there will be no further unilateral closures in the future. 

2/ All border crossings must be reopened at the same time, with no selective or partial openings. 

3/ The border crossings must be reopened to their previous operational status before June 7 — that is all border crossing are open from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., and for both people and goods. 

“Cambodia will reopen its side of the border crossings within five hours after all the procedures are completed on the Thai side,” he reaffirmed.
