Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet told Reuters on February 17 that Thai forces are occupying Cambodian territory after fighting last year despite a peace accord brokered by US President Donald Trump, and called on Thailand to allow a joint boundary commission to begin working on their disputed border.

In his first interview with international media, Hun Manet, who took over power from his father in 2023, hailed warmer ties with Washington and said his government was working to address cyber scam centers that have proliferated in the country.
