Foreign Minister Sihasak Phuangketkeow confirmed that four-party discussions with Malaysia, the US, Thailand, and Cambodia on border tensions were successful. Progress made, with four key proposals to be reviewed by the Thai government.

Foreign Minister Sihasak Phuangketkeow on Tuesday discussed his visit to Malaysia and participation in four-party talks involving Malaysia, the United States, Thailand, and Cambodia to address border issues between Thailand and Cambodia. He stated that the discussions were successful and that each party would consult with their respective governments. Sihasak also confirmed that he would brief the Prime Minister on the outcomes.

He noted that while progress has been made, the key question now is how the agreements will be implemented. Additional meetings are planned to follow up on the discussions, and he expects tangible results to emerge from these deliberations.

When asked whether Thailand would continue to pursue the four proposals discussed in the Thai-Cambodian General Border Committee (GBC) meetings, Sihasak affirmed that the proposals remain unchanged and would also be brought to the Joint Boundary Commission (JBC) for further consultation.

Regarding concerns about a Thai influencer allegedly performing ghost sounds near the border, Sihasak stated that negotiations would take priority before addressing such incidents.

On the issue of Thai nationals being detained in Cambodia, Sihasak confirmed that the matter would proceed according to legal procedures and that progress in discussions would be assessed accordingly.
