H.E. Khuon Sudary Tells German Envoy: Cambodia Will Not Accept Force to Alter Borders

PHNOM PENH, Oct. 20, 2026: H.E. Khuon Sudary, President of the National Assembly, told Germany's newly appointed Ambassador Silke Röfer that Cambodia will not accept the use of military force to invade or alter its borders, during a courtesy call at the National Assembly Palace on Tuesday morning.

H.E. Khuon Sudary reaffirmed Cambodia's clear position of resolving border issues with Thailand peacefully, based on international law, and its absolute rejection of military force to change borders. She also stressed the importance of multilateralism and respect for international law.

On economy and trade, H.E. Khuon Sudary asked Germany to consider increasing investment, particularly in small and medium enterprises and agro-industry, to process goods for export to world markets. She said Cambodia is a potential gateway within ASEAN and the RCEP countries.

On parliamentary relations and technology, both sides exchanged views on mechanisms to strengthen cooperation between the two countries' legislative institutions through exchanges at all levels, and to expand digital and technology cooperation.

On the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations in 2027, both countries plan to organise numerous events to strengthen friendship and people-to-people ties.
