WASHINGTON ¨C Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet said on Tuesday that Thai forces were occupying Cambodian territory after fighting last year despite a peace accord brokered by U.S. President Donald Trump.
Hun Manet called on Thailand to allow a joint boundary commission to begin working on their disputed border. The Cambodian prime minister traveled to Washington to attend a meeting ?of Trump¡¯s Board of Peace this week, and said he hoped the new body could play a role ?in de-escalating ?the situation on the border, which he described as ¡°fragile¡± despite a December ceasefire that ended ?renewed fighting.
The board was created to oversee a peace plan for the Gaza Strip, but Trump has said it could take on a broader role. Thailand has said it is maintaining troop positions as part of de-escalation measures and ?denied it is occupying territory.
