Samdech Techo Hun Sen, President of the Senate, explained two news reports
[…] Cambodia needs a strong Thai leader capable of engaging in peace negotiations. Likewise, Thailand needs a strong Cambodian leader, and currently, only Hun Sen and Hun Manet have the authority and capacity to engage in such talks. Among the two, Hun Manet is taking the lead in direct negotiations […]
[…] Given this context, there is no rationale whatsoever for Thai leadership to plan the assassination of Hun Sen or Hun Manet. In fact, if either of us were truly killed at the hands of Thai leadership, it would certainly trigger the rise of tens of thousands, even millions of “Hun Sens” and “Hun Manets” across Cambodian soil, turning Thailand into an eternal enemy that would be impossible to appease […]
After a break of over two hours, we resumed our regular duties to review the frontline situation and strictly implement the ceasefire. We also strengthened our defense against any violations by the other side. I discussed this matter with the Prime Minister and urged the International Committee of the Red Cross to address the capturing of 18 Cambodian soldiers by Thailand after the ceasefire agreement came into effect for approximately 8 hours. This constitutes a violation of the ceasefire agreement, which prohibits firing, troop mobilization, and troop reinforcements. I am curious to know the reason behind Thailand’s refusal to return the 18 Cambodian soldiers to Cambodia.
[…] Although a ceasefire has been established, I have not had much opportunity to rest. From 12 p.m. on July 28th to July 29th, 2025, my responsibility is to contribute to the successful implementation of the ceasefire agreement, with the aim of ensuring a peaceful end to the conflict.
[…] I would like to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude to the armies of both Cambodia and Thailand for their respect and implementation of the agreement, as well as for the successful hosting of the regional meeting. Let us collaborate to safeguard peace, so that we may avoid its loss and continue our efforts to achieve a lasting peace, which is a challenging endeavor.
