Siem Reap, Preah Vihear Move to Clarify Shared Administrative Boundary

PHNOM PENH, September 14, 2026 – Officials from Siem Reap and Preah Vihear provinces have signed a joint proposal to adjust the administrative boundary between the two provinces, in a move aimed at streamlining governance and public service delivery.

The signing took place Monday afternoon at the Siem Reap Provincial Hall, with Siem Reap Governor Prak Sophoan and Preah Vihear Governor Kim Rithy formalizing the request.

According to the Siem Reap Provincial Administration, the proposal followed legal procedures and was based on field studies and verification conducted by both sides. The two administrations held discussions and reached a consensus before submitting the request.

The adjustment responds to a Ministry of Interior notification on clarifying administrative boundaries at various levels where delineation had remained unclear. Officials said the change will help ensure more effective management of border areas and better reflect conditions on the ground.
