Seoul, South Korea – July 27, 2025 — Tens of thousands of Cambodians residing in South Korea staged large-scale protests throughout the day on July 27, condemning Thailand’s ongoing invasion of Cambodia. The demonstrations, which took place from morning until night, aimed to demand an immediate end to hostilities and to show support for the Cambodian soldiers fighting on the front lines.

Members of the Cambodian community, waving national flags and chanting slogans, expressed outrage over the recent escalation of violence that has resulted in dozens of casualties and the displacement of tens of thousands of civilians. Protesters called on the international community to exert pressure on the Thai government to cease military operations along Cambodia’s border, which they described as spreading violence and killing innocent people.

Amid the protests, many participants emphasized Cambodia’s fragile economy and smaller size compared to Thailand, highlighting what they described as an unjust invasion by a more powerful neighbor. The demonstrators also staged rallies in front of government buildings and diplomatic missions, urging global leaders to take urgent action to halt the conflict.

The protests reflect a widespread sentiment among the Cambodian diaspora in South Korea, unified in their call for peace and justice. The Cambodian government has appealed to the international community to intervene and facilitate a ceasefire, as fighting continues to threaten regional stability and civilian safety.

The situation remains tense, with ongoing fighting along the border, prompting international calls for restraint and diplomacy. The Cambodian community in Korea continues to rally support and advocate for an end to the violence.
