BANGKOK (The Nation Thailand/ANN): The Thai army spokesman says Cambodia’s accusations, including “environmental crime” claims, are distortions without evidence, and urges a return to fact-based bilateral talks at the ongoing peace summit.

The Royal Thai Army has rejected statements from the Cambodian side as “baseless” and a distortion of facts, insisting Thai operations comply with international law and that Thailand remains committed to bilateral negotiations.
