Defence Minister Phumtham Wechayachai says Thailand reinforces military presence in response to Cambodia move.
Thailand has bolstered its military presence along its border with Cambodia amid rising tensions following the death of a Cambodian soldier in a skirmish on May 28. Defence Minister Phumtham Wechayachai stated that Cambodia rejected de-escalation proposals during recent talks, prompting Thailand to enhance its military posture. As Cambodia plans to file a complaint with the International Court of Justice over the border dispute, Thailand remains committed to bilateral discussions, rejecting ICJ jurisdiction since 1960.
