Army Confirms Political Tensions Do Not Impact Military Operations

Nakhon Phanom: Gen. Boonsin, Commander of the 2nd Army, revealed that the situation on the Thai-Cambodian border remains calm. Most of the tension is internal politics. He stated that it does not affect the army’s operations.

According to Thai News Agency, after presiding over the Buddha image offering ceremony and performing religious ceremonies at Wat Sawang Suwannaram in Nakhon Phanom Province, Lieutenant General Boonsin Phadklang, Commander of the 2nd Army Region, gave an interview about the border situation, saying that it remains peaceful, with no violence or worrisome troop movements. Cambodia is still within its borders and has not encroached on Thai territory. Most of the tension is due to the political situation within Thailand, which the army will continue to focus on maintaining the sovereignty and security of the country. Political movements within the country do not affect the army’s duty to protect the border.

As for the group of Cambodians singing at Prasat Ta Kwai, the Thai army has coordinated with the Cambodian authorities to prevent such incidents from happening again. It is believed that this incident was more of a political matter and not directly related to the military conflict.

As for the news about the conflict between the Prime Minister and the army commander, it was just a misunderstanding and there was an explanation and an apology. It has no effect on the work of the army in any way.
