The ongoing border dispute between Thailand and Cambodia has intensified, leading to heightened tensions after a deadly skirmish. Cambodian Senate President Hun Sen threatened to halt imports of Thai fruits and vegetables unless Thailand lifts border restrictions within 24 hours. Thai PM Paetongtarn Shinawatra asserted that Thailand would not be intimidated and emphasized the importance of official diplomatic channels. The conflict, stemming from historical territorial arguments, has resulted in military clashes, prompting both nations to take defensive measures and maintain full military readiness.
If the Thai side does not open border crossings to normalcy today, tomorrow, we will implement throughout the border a ban on the imports of fruit and vegetables to Cambodia.
We will not be bullied or threatened and... unofficial communication would harm diplomatic efforts.
