Summary

On July 29, 2025, Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Tea Seiha rejected Thai allegations that Cambodia had breached the ceasefire. He outlined a planned border visit, reported a call with Thailand’s acting defence minister, and said Cambodia then planned to host the GBC meeting in Phnom Penh on August 4.

Gen. Tea Seiha, Cambodia’s deputy prime minister and minister of national defence, said on the morning of July 29 that Cambodian troops had exercised restraint and observed the ceasefire from 00:00 local time on July 29 up to the time of his remarks. He rejected allegations by the Thai army and Thai media that Cambodia had violated the ceasefire agreement.

Tea Seiha said that, to demonstrate Cambodia’s commitment, Cambodia’s Ministry of National Defence planned to lead foreign diplomats and military attachés posted to Cambodia, along with other stakeholders, on a visit to observe sites and conditions along the Cambodia–Thailand border.

Tea Seiha also said he had spoken by phone that morning with Thailand’s acting defence minister about issues that had arisen during implementation of the ceasefire. The joint statement issued after the special meeting in Putrajaya, Malaysia, on July 28, 2025, said Cambodia would host a Cambodia–Thailand General Border Committee (GBC) meeting. Under the plan at the time, Cambodia intended to hold the meeting in Phnom Penh on August 4, 2025, and expected the Thai side to take part.
