Foreign Ministry Spokesman Guo Jiakun answered questions from reporters on August 12, 2026. A CGTN reporter at the general station asked about the Cambodian-Thai border dispute. Recently, some media have paid attention to Sino-Cambodian military equipment cooperation. What is China's response to this? What is China's position on the Cambodian-Thai border dispute? Guo Jiakun: The Chinese side has repeatedly stated that China, Cambodia, and Thailand are all friendly neighbors, and they all carry out normal arms cooperation. The cooperation between China, Cambodia and Thailand is not aimed at a third party, and has nothing to do with the Cambodian-Thai border conflict. The Chinese side is maintaining open and honest communication with both Cambodia and Thailand on this. Both Cambodia and Thailand are also clear about this. Cambodia and Thailand are inseparable neighbors, and it is in the common and long-term interests of the people of Cambodia and Thailand to properly handle the border dispute as soon as possible. As a good friend of Cambodia and Thailand, China has always actively encouraged peace and talks in its own way to push for a cease-fire and the resumption of bilateral contacts between the two countries as soon as possible. We hope that Cambodia and Thailand will move in the opposite direction and resolve the border dispute peacefully through friendly negotiations. China is ready to continue to play a constructive role in this regard.
