Thailand Moves Meeting from Phnom Penh to Malaysia

Published on 8.1.25

  Thailand has requested a bilateral security meeting with Cambodia to be moved from Phnom Penh to Malaysia due to the sensitive nature of the situation. The meeting, originally scheduled for August 4, will now take place in Malaysia as part of its role as chair of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean). Thailand's Acting Defense Minister Nattaphon Narkphanit made the request to his Cambodian counterpart, citing the need for more time to discuss border security issues. The meeting aims to de-escalate tensions following deadly clashes between the two countries, which have resulted in over 40 deaths and displaced around 300,000 people along their border.
