Thai Army invites ASEAN military attachés to discuss Thai-Cambodia border situation and ceasefire monitoring

Major General Winthai Suwaree, spokesperson for the Royal Thai Army, announced on Friday that the army, through the Army Intelligence Department, held a discussion with ASEAN defence attachés stationed in Thailand. The meeting, led by the Malaysian Defence Attaché, took place at the Srisitthisongkram Building within the Royal Thai Army Headquarters. The discussion was chaired by Lieutenant General Kamchai Wongsri, Director of the Army Intelligence Department.

The main purpose of the meeting was to discuss the Thai-Cambodia border situation and the establishment of the Interim ASEAN Defence Attachés Monitoring Team, which will oversee the ceasefire along the Thai-Cambodia border.

This meeting followed the ceasefire agreement made in Malaysia on July 28, where both sides agreed to establish an interim monitoring team of ASEAN military attaches to serve as an initial mechanism for monitoring the situation and fostering trust between the two parties.

In addition, the meeting addressed plans for the future establishment of an ASEAN Monitoring Team (AMIT), which will take on the primary responsibility for monitoring the situation going forward. This issue will also be raised in the upcoming General Border Committee (GBC) meeting between Thailand and Cambodia, scheduled for August 4, 2025.

The Royal Thai Army reiterated its commitment to acting on all fronts to achieve tangible results. It also reaffirmed Thailand’s stance in respecting international principles, emphasising that Thailand does not seek aggression or violence but aims to resolve the conflict, promote peace, and ensure lasting stability between the nations.
