Through a social media post, Hun Sen emphasized his ongoing dedication to safeguarding peace amid continued developments in the border area.
In his statement, Techo Hun Sen acknowledged the intensity of his work during the critical period. "Despite the ceasefire, I haven't had much rest," he wrote. "Last night, I only managed more than two hours of sleep. I will continue working until now, and this may extend until 7 p.m. or even later depending on how the situation unfolds."
He reaffirmed that his main task from July 28 to 29, 2025, has been to assist in the implementation of the ceasefire agreement, highlighting the importance of ending hostilities and establishing enduring peace.

This statement underscores Cambodia's unwavering commitment to peaceful resolution and regional stability, reinforcing ongoing efforts to prevent further conflict and promote diplomatic dialogue in the border region.
