When asked what is the reaction of the Cambodian government to the deployments of Thai troops and the building of trenches and bunkers by Thai troops in Chak Chreng areas, Mr. Phay Siphan said that Cambodia plans to respond in accordance with international laws and to resolve the issues through peaceful means as has been the Cambodian position from the start.
Recently, there have been heightened tensions a long the borders after there are reports that the Thai military had spent half a million dollars constructing many re-enforced trenches and bunkers on the "Thai claimed areas" a long the borders.

The dog Phay Siphan!!!He is Chhkai Hun Xen,he has no brain,he speaks the same parrot,he report what the dictator ,mafia and the murder to be good for the country,he is very crazy.
Phay Siphan should have said up until now the border problems are getting 70% worse than a year ago.
Phay Siphan is lying when he said 70% of border issues are resolved. As we can hear in the news, Thai troops have encroached more Khmer territories at Chak Chreng, O'Smach, Phnom Trop, Choam Ksan, Chup Koki and even at Preah Vihear. So how can he said 70% of border problems have been resolved. He is a big liar.
