Sihasak Puangketkaew warned Cambodia not to use the opportunity of the OIF meeting to raise the Thai-Cambodian border dispute, revealing that Thailand has sent representatives to observe the event.
At 14:00 on 10 Nov 2026 at the Government House, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sihasak Puangketkaew commented on French President Emmanuel Macron's upcoming official visit to Cambodia from 14-16 November, during which he will attend the 20th summit of French-speaking countries (OIF) in Phnom Penh. He stated that while this is an OIF meeting, Cambodia should not use the occasion to bring up the border conflict issue, as the meeting is unrelated to Thai-Cambodian matters. Nevertheless, Thailand has sent observers to monitor the meeting closely.
