Malaysia's Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan advocates for Thailand and Cambodia to employ the General Border Committee as their dispute resolution mechanism. Each nation demands an apology from the other before proceeding with negotiations. The minister maintains regular communication with Thai counterpart Maris Sangiampongsa and Cambodian counterpart Prak Sokhonn regarding the ongoing conflict. He requests that both sides establish an immediate ceasefire between the neighboring countries. Malaysian authorities will continue diplomatic efforts to facilitate peaceful dialogue.
Wisma Putra has prohibited Malaysian citizens from entering or approaching conflict zones in both nations. The Malaysian embassies in Bangkok and Phnom Penh remain available to assist citizens experiencing difficulties related to the border tensions. Thai and Cambodian forces engaged in combat last Thursday within the disputed territory. Violence has intensified since May 28, when a Cambodian soldier died during fighting in the Preah Vihear region. Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim contacted the leaders of both countries on Thursday to address the escalating situation along the 817-kilometer disputed border.
