Cambodia, Thailand Press for Nuclear Disarmament at UN High-Level Meeting

PHNOM PENH — Oct. 1, 2026: Cambodia has called for upholding the integrity of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and advancing its three mutually reinforcing pillars, alongside stronger multilateral efforts toward a nuclear-free world.

H.E. Keo Chhea, Ambassador and Permanent Representative of Cambodia to the United Nations, delivered the statement at a high-level plenary meeting of the UN General Assembly commemorating the International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons, according to a post by Cambodia's permanent mission.

Thailand also addressed the same session. Its Ambassador and Permanent Representative, H.E. Cherdchai Chaivaivid, said conflicts worldwide are becoming more protracted and complex while nuclear-weapon states expand and modernise their arsenals, and called for urgent action on disarmament obligations, humanitarian cooperation and complementarity among disarmament frameworks, according to a separate post by Thailand's mission.

The statements were issued independently by each country's mission.
