US EditionCambodia threatens Thai fruits ban as tensions over border disputes continue to soar
- On June 16, former Cambodian leader Hun Sen issued an ultimatum in Phnom Penh demanding Thailand lift border crossing restrictions or face a ban on all Thai fruit and vegetable imports.
- The ultimatum followed escalating tensions after a May 28 armed clash at the disputed Emerald Triangle area where one Cambodian soldier was killed and both sides blamed each other for aggression.
- Cambodia has repeatedly sought mediation from the International Court of Justice over four border disputes including ancient temple sites, while Thailand rejects the court's jurisdiction and tightened border controls recently.
- Hun Sen issued a warning to Thailand, stating that unless border crossings return to normal operations immediately, Cambodia will prohibit the import of Thai fruits and vegetables across the entire border starting the next day, highlighting the intensity of their ongoing dispute.
- The dispute has caused violent clashes resulting in 28 fatalities since 2008 and affected regional stability, prompting Hun Sen to urge a large number of Cambodian workers in Thailand to return due to growing concerns over discrimination.
