DFA Statement on Cambodia-Thailand Border Situation

MANILA 25 July 2025 – We are hopeful our two fellow ASEAN member states will resolve this issue in accordance with international law and the peaceful settlement of disputes.

We urge both parties to extend due consideration and care to innocent civilians who may be affected by the ongoing conflict.

The Philippines does not take any position on this dispute but underscores the importance of maintaining open lines of communication and ensuring the de-escalation of the situation.

We are continually monitoring the situation and we are ready to extend all possible assistance to Filipinos living in these two countries if necessary. To date, no Filipino nationals have been reported to be affected by this conflict. END
