(AseanAll)  — Hun Sen, President of the Senate of Cambodia, has responded to a recent report in a Thai newspaper alleging that the acting Prime Minister of Thailand declared Hun Sen and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet would be immediately arrested if they entered Thailand.

“If the newspaper’s publication accurately reflects the acting Prime Minister’s remarks, who is nearing the end of his term, it reveals that he is a reckless individual who lacks understanding of customary law and diplomatic protocol,” he wrote in a Facebook post on the evening of August 18,2025.

If Thailand is in a position to arrest Cambodian leaders, then Cambodia could likewise arrest certain Thai leaders who have invaded and killed Cambodian citizens, he emphasised, adding that customary law has been violated by the aggressors.

“Is this an effort to build trust and move toward better relations, or an act of provocation that could reignite conflict following the ceasefire agreement?” Hun Sen questioned.
