The head of the Royal Government Spokesperson’s Unit H.E Phay Siphan, warned at a press conference on 23 July that occupying land along the border, in particular the Cambodia-Vietnam border in Takeo province, is illegal, and called for an immediate end with those ignoring the order potentially facing legal action.

“The land along the Cambodian-Vietnamese border is not privately owned; it is state-owned. So far, we have seen that some people believe in rumours and occupy the land. This is illegal. Please stop believing,” said H.E Phay Siphan.

“We [the government] would like to urge the public to stop, otherwise we will take legal action,” he added.

According to same source, the Cambodia-Vietnam border in Takeo province is approximately 74 kilometres long connected with two provinces of Vietnam.
