Cambodian high ranking officials on Friday rejected claims from the People’s Alliance for Democracy (PAD) in Thailand that Thailand lost 4.6 square-kilometers to Cambodia. The Cambodian officials stressed that such a stance is not the official line of the Thai Government.
“This claim is not Bangkok’s government’s stance and [they are] willing to solve with the Cambodian Government,” Koy Kuong, a spokesman of the Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, told DAP News Cambodia on Friday.
“This protest is from only Thai nationalism group to claim Cambodia invaded Thailand,” Koy Kuong confirmed. “If the two governments have not solved the problems yet, they cannot claim it is the sovereignty belonging to Thailand.”
The Thais “often claim to be encroached upon and envied by Cambodia, but they base [claims] only on their own map, Koy Kuong added.
Va Kimhong, president of the Cambodian Border Committee could not be reached for comment on Friday. “Thailand should not say that they lost around 4.6 square kilometers of their land in accordance with an international ruling of June 15, 2009,” he has previously told DAP News Cambodia.
“Thailand cannot say as the area and the surroundings of the area do not belong to Cambodia. When they said they lost land, it is not based in reality or evidence.”
