LOWELL, MA – Today, Congressional Cambodia Caucus Chair Lori Trahan (MA-03) issued the following statement after Cambodia and Thailand announced a ceasefire agreement to end a multi-day conflict along the nations’ border:

“I welcome the announcement of a ceasefire between Cambodia and Thailand following several days of violence along their border. This is a critical step toward de-escalation and the protection of civilians, but it must be more than a temporary pause. Both governments must commit to a peaceful path forward.”

“The State Department must continue engaging directly with leaders in Phnom Penh and Bangkok to ensure this ceasefire is upheld and there is no return to violence. Now is the time for proactive, sustained diplomacy to prevent further bloodshed and support lasting peace.”

“The Congressional Cambodia Caucus stands ready to support efforts that prioritize peace, protect human lives, and promote stability in the region.”
