Listen to this articleThailand's Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul shakes hands with Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Manet during their bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Summit in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, October 28, 2025. Mr Anutin said the MoUs, signed in 2000 and 2001, relate to land border demarcation (43) and overlapping maritime zones (44). Mr Anutin, also the leader of the Bhumjaithai Party, said the party had consistently supported revising MoU 43, particularly where land border demarcation was concerned. Turning to the Thai-Cambodian border situation, the prime minister said he had been briefed that conditions were calm and under effective control, though authorities remained vigilant. He said it was therefore unsurprising that Cambodian senate president Hun Sen had called for an urgent meeting of the Joint Boundary Commission (JBC), as Cambodia stood to benefit under MoU 43.
