The Ministry of Foreign Affairs on 27 June 2025 issued a press release regarding current attempts to sow divisions in Thai society through the circulation of inciteful content in social media.
The release states that the Thai government would like to reaffirm that it will use only official channels to communicate with the Cambodian government.
Concerning heightened efforts to combat and suppress transnational crime, including call centers, online fraud, and human trafficking - which several recent reports from international organizations, including the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and Amnesty International, have identified as a major threat in the subregion - Thailand also underscores the enormous damage these activities will cause at the global level, economically and socially.
As a consequence, Thailand is ready to play a leading role in these efforts and calls on the international community to cooperate with Thailand in suppressing transnational crime in this subregion.
In other related news, Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra on 26 June chaired a meeting in Aranyaprathet District, Sa Kaeo Province, to follow up on the Thai-Cambodian border closure and its impact. She said that the border measures were an effort to suppress the persistent problem of transnational crime.
Well aware of the impact of border restrictions on local people and businesses, the Prime Minister visited Aranyaprathet to closely monitor the situation and discuss ways to promptly help those affected. She instructed the Ministry of Interior to coordinate the provision of assistance to local people through provincial governors. The Ministry of Commerce was also assigned to urgently assist traders in clearing product stocks and find remedies for affected business operators.
