PHNOM PENH, July 24 (Xinhua) -- Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet on Thursday called on the people to stay calm and trust the government and armed forces amid a border clash with Thailand.
In a post on his official social media platforms, Hun Manet said the Thai army launched on Thursday morning an attack on Cambodian army positions in Oddar Meanchey province, and expanded the geographical area of their attack to Preah Vihear province.
"Cambodia has always maintained a position of wanting to resolve issues peacefully, but in this case, we have no choice but to respond with armed forces against armed aggression," he said.
