The special meeting of the Joint Border Committee (JBC) between Cambodia and Thailand was successfully held on October 21-22, 2025 in the province of Jokhang, Thailand, and concluded in a friendly and harmonious atmosphere. The Cambodian delegation is led by Minister of State for Border Affairs, Langti, while the Thai delegation is led by Prasas Prasasvinitchai, Border Affairs Advisor at the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
According to the joint press release of the meeting, both sides agreed to commission the Cambodia Thailand Joint Technical Subcommittee (JTSC) to rebuild 15 border posts at the agreed location, based on the original French style posts, and to rebuild 3 submerged border posts. Both parties will also accelerate the revision of the 2003 technical procedures regarding the production of orthophoto maps, introducing new technologies such as LiDAR to advance boundary surveying and demarcation work.
Both parties agree to review and finalize the technical guidance for the joint demarcation and temporary layout of the priority boundary line for the field survey of the area between the 42nd and 47th outposts on the Cambodia Thailand border. After the demarcation and temporary layout work is completed and approved by their respective governments, both parties will study and establish appropriate mechanisms to adjust the relevant ownership and equity arrangements. Both sides emphasized that the temporary layout is only for the purpose of demarcation and does not affect the legal status of the Cambodia Thailand international boundary line.
In addition, both sides agreed to coordinate local military and civilian forces to ensure the safety and freedom of movement of the joint survey team, avoid any actions that may exacerbate regional tensions, and ensure the clearance of landmines in the area.
Both parties have agreed that the next Joint Border Committee meeting will be held in Siem Reap, Cambodia in the first week of January 2026.
