Thailand has officially responded to Cambodia's complaint at the United Nations, insisting that its military activities along the border were defensive and consistent with maintaining national security.

Thai officials have rejected claims of aggressive incursions, describing recent confrontations near the Ta Krabei and Ta Muean temples as the result of Cambodian provocations.

The foreign ministry reiterated Thailand's preference for resolving disputes through bilateral mechanisms while accusing Cambodia of internationalizing the issue for political gain.
