Phnom penh: The European Union is urging Cambodia and Thailand to ensure the effective implementation of their recently signed ceasefire agreement, highlighting the need for both nations to respect international law and minimize further tensions.
According to Agence Kampuchea Presse, Anitta Hipper, EU Spokesperson for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, emphasized the importance of sustained efforts by both countries to adhere to the ceasefire. In a post on the social media platform X on September 5, 2025, Hipper stated, "Both parties must respect international law and refrain from any activities that escalate tensions."
The EU has expressed solidarity with Malaysia, the 2025 Chair of ASEAN, in its initiatives to promote peace and long-term stability between Cambodia and Thailand. The ceasefire, which took effect at midnight on July 28, 2025, has seen strict adherence by Cambodia, which has consistently called on Thailand to uphold the agreement.
Cambodia has highlighted the 13-point consensus from the Extraordinary Meeting of the Cambodia-Thailand General Border Committee in Malaysia on August 7, 2025, as well as the spirit of the recent Extraordinary Meeting of the Cambodia-Thailand Regional Border Committee, as critical elements for compliance.
