62 DAYS IN CAPTIVE: CAMBODIA URGES IMMEDIATE RELEASE OF 18 SOLDIERS HELD BY THAI MILITARY
It has now more than 2 months since the 18 Cambodian soldiers were taken captive by the Thai military. Cambodia urgently calls on Thailand to release them without delay so they can be safely reunited with their families, who have been anxiously awaiting their return, in line with international humanitarian law.
The Royal Government of Cambodia remains steadfast and deeply committed to securing the safe and swift release of these soldiers, using all diplomatic and legal channels available.
Alongside the Ministry of National Defense and the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces, the government affirms it will never abandon any of its troops, no matter the circumstances.
