Chong Bok: Cambodian soldiers have recently withdrawn from the Kulet area, sealing it off and restoring it to its original state. The withdrawal was part of an agreement for military officers from both sides to meet weekly for talks.
According to Thai News Agency, the events unfolded on June 8, 2015, when Cambodian forces reached out to the Suranaree Force at the Chong Bok border at 10:00 a.m. to initiate negotiations. The Suranaree Force promptly informed Lt. Gen. Boonsin Phadklang, Commander of the 2nd Army Region, who then relayed the request to Gen. Pana Klaewplodthuk, Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Thai Army. Following approval from the Commander-in-Chief, negotiations commenced, leading to a mutual agreement for both sides to retreat to their 2024 positions.
As part of the agreement, the Cambodian forces have closed off the Kulet area and restored it to its previous state. Military personnel from both nations will now convene weekly in the area to engage in discussions, aiming to maintain peace and cooperation in the region.
