On 16 October, the SRP issued a statement indicating that the party condemns the aggression of Thai troops on Cambodia’s territories at several locations, and that they caused fire exchanges that led to the deaths and injuries among Cambodian soldiers. The SRP fully support the right of self defense by the RCAF from the firing and aggression of the Siem army, and the party praises and pays high respect to the heroism and sacrifice by Khmer troops in the defense of Cambodian territories. The SRP also calls on the government to support the families of soldiers who sacrificed their lives, as well as to provide decent living conditions for the families of Cambodian soldiers now in the frontline. The SRP demanded that the Cambodian government takes the issue of aggression on Khmer territories with the UN without further delay, as well as asking the co-Presidents of the 1991 Paris Peace accords on Cambodia to immediately review the case of the Cambodian territorial integrity which is fully guaranteed by these accords.
