Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Prak Sokhonn has reaffirmed Cambodia’s firm commitment to peace, stressing that while the nation does not seek conflict, it will resolutely defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity if provoked.
In a message released by the Press and Quick Reaction Unit of the Office of the Council of Ministers today, DPM Sokhonn was quoted as saying that Cambodia’s foremost effort is to prevent war — not out of fear, but out of wisdom and responsibility to its people.
“Our greatest effort is to avoid war! It is not because we fear war, but because we know that war brings only destruction. We are not those who covet others’ land, nor are we aggressors seeking to seize what is not ours. We are compelled to take up arms solely to defend the integrity of our territory. We have done so much—and yet, we are no longer safe,” Sokhonn said.
His remarks come amid heightened tensions along the Cambodia–Thailand border, where Cambodian authorities have accused Thai forces of repeated incursions and acts of psychological intimidation against villagers in Banteay Meanchey province.
