AKP Phnom Penh, September 15, 2025 --

The Ministry of National Defence of the Kingdom of Cambodia has categorically rejects the unfounded and baseless accusations made by the Thai side that Cambodia has deployed drones along the border area between the two countries.

“These false accusations not only escalate tensions but also severely affect mutual trust between both parties,” said H.E. Lt. Gen. Maly Socheata, Spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defence, in a statement released this morning. 

The spokesperson clarified that Cambodia has not launched any drones into Thai sovereign territory as falsely claimed, and urged the Thai side to adhere to the agreed-upon principles that both Cambodia and Thailand have committed to, which include avoiding the dissemination of false or misleading information, reducing tensions, preventing negative public opinion, and fostering a constructive atmosphere for diplomatic dialogue. “This will contribute to fully and effectively implementing the ceasefire agreement and the return to normalcy,” she added.

Furthermore, H.E. Lt. Gen. Maly Socheata reaffirmed Cambodia's firm commitment to respecting the ceasefire agreement reached by both parties during the special meeting on July 28, 2025, in Putrajaya, as well as the full and effective implementation of all agreements made up to this point. This includes the joint record of all meetings of the Cambodia-Thailand General Border Committee (GBC) and the Cambodia-Thailand Regional Border Committee (RBC), which have been continuously held since both parties reached an agreement on the ceasefire conditions during the special GBC meeting on Aug. 7, 2025, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
