Cambodia has officially ceased all fuel imports from Thailand, a decision announced by Prime Minister Hun Manet as relations undergo significant strain following the death of a Cambodian soldier in a border dispute. This action marks the most severe degradation of relations between the two nations in over a decade. Energy needs are expected to be met through other sources, according to Manet. The situation is further complicated by border security measures and warnings for citizens regarding travel to and from Thailand.
Cambodia has announced it will stop all fuel imports from its neighbour Thailand as relations have plunged to their lowest ebb due to a killing of a Cambodian soldier.
Prime Minister Hun Manet stated that energy companies could import sufficient fuel and gas from other sources to meet domestic demands amid deteriorating relations with Thailand.
The border dispute has been a long-standing issue for over a century, initially mapped by France in 1907 and recently reignited following military tensions.
Cambodia's Foreign Ministry advised citizens against unnecessary travel to Thailand, reflecting rising tensions that have persisted since the border incident.
