Thai-Cambodian Border Conflict Situation Center affirms ongoing operations
Thai-Cambodia Border Situation: Ad Hoc Centre Remains Active Despite Ongoing Tensions
The Ad Hoc Centre for the Thailand-Cambodia Border Situation continues its operations, despite recent reports suggesting its potential closure due to improved stability along the border. The Centre, which is responsible for maintaining security and stability along the contested region, remains active in its role[1][2][4].
The Centre's operations are currently undergoing comprehensive assessments by the National Security Council (NSC). These assessments factor in strategic information and on-the-ground realities to ensure any future decisions align with national interests and public safety[1][2].
Recent security developments indicate continued border tensions. The Thai military has reported Cambodian troops breaching ceasefire agreements by planting landmines inside Thai territory. The Thai Army maintains a stronghold on sovereign territory along the border, with troops deployed and monitoring Cambodian movements, ready to respond diplomatically and through security channels as necessary[5].
The Ad Hoc Centre's update, posted on its official Facebook page on August 13, underlines the need for the Centre’s active role for the foreseeable future. The Centre will uphold its mandate to maintain stability, monitor developments, and coordinate appropriate responses[8].
Meanwhile, the Thai government has accused Cambodia of using landmines along the border, vowing full action[8]. In response, Cambodia has deployed 61 drone defence nets along its border with Thailand[7].
There are rising concerns about unexploded ordnance in the Surin border area, increasing safety concerns[4]. The Centre's continued operation is crucial in addressing these issues and ensuring the safety of border communities.
