The United Nations Security Council is to hold an urgent meeting to discuss ways to resolve the border conflict between Cambodia and Thailand, according to diplomatic sources cited by AFP in a report shared on social media by Cambodian Information Minister Neth Pheaktra. The closed meeting, requested by Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet, is scheduled for 3 p.m. on July 25 in New York, corresponding to 2 a.m. on July 26 in Cambodia. The urgent session is being convened at the Cambodian prime minister’s request.
On July 24, 2025, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet sent a letter to Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, the Security Council president for July 2025, requesting an urgent meeting and seeking the Council’s intervention to end what the letter described as aggression by Thai forces against Cambodia’s sovereignty.
