A spokesperson for Cambodia’s Ministry of National Defense said that on November 12, 2026, Cambodia’s coordinating group (CLG) facilitated a mission by the Cambodia-based ASEAN observer team to observe and verify implementation of the measures set out in the joint declaration and report on the actual situation along the Cambodia–Thailand border after the ceasefire took effect. The mission took place at the Kilometre 13 (ភ្នំដី) international border crossing, in Kilometre 13 village, សន្តិភាព commune, សំពៅលូន district, Battambang Province.
The Kilometre 13 international border crossing has been closed since June 24, 2025, following the Thai side’s unilateral decision to close it. The ASEAN observers’ visit is part of monitoring and verifying compliance with obligations and the measures set out in the joint agreements, to assess the situation and promote peace along the border.
The Cambodian government and Ministry of National Defense also reaffirmed their commitment to fully and faithfully respect and implement the agreements, including the joint declaration of the third special meeting of the Cambodia–Thailand General Border Committee, the joint statement concerning a peace agreement involving Cambodia, and other related agreements.
