Thailand and Cambodia's Preah Vihear Temple Border Dispute: Hun Sen's Facebook Post Offers New Insights The ongoing territorial dispute between Thailand and Cambodia near the Preah Vihear temple has taken a new turn with a recent Facebook post by Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen. The post, which has garnered significant attention, presents three key arguments to support Cambodia's claim to the contested area. Firstly, Hun Sen highlights the long-standing presence of Cambodian troops in the region, dating back to before the Paris Peace Agreements. He asserts that this continuous military presence is evidence of Cambodia's sovereignty over the land. Secondly, the post references photographic evidence to further substantiate Cambodia's claim. While the specific photos are not shown in detail in the video, the author emphasizes their existence as a supporting piece of evidence. Thirdly, Hun Sen mentions previous diplomatic efforts to resolve the dispute, suggesting a history of attempts to reach a peaceful resolution. This highlights the ongoing nature of the conflict and the importance of finding a solution. The video's author states, "Hun Sen's post is a significant development in the ongoing dispute, offering a direct insight into Cambodia's position and its willingness to engage in diplomatic efforts." The situation remains tense, but the use of social media as a platform for diplomatic communication underscores the evolving nature of international relations in the digital age. Further diplomatic efforts are expected to follow.
