Thailand’s government ends a 2001 agreement with Cambodia that was intended to settle overlapping maritime territory claims in the Gulf of Thailand. The decision comes after years of deadlock, during which the two countries’ maritime boundaries remained unresolved. According to the reporting, the agreement was aimed at providing a framework to address competing claims, but it did not achieve lasting resolution. The Thai government’s action effectively scraps the 2001 deal, removing the basis the agreement provided for managing or delimiting the disputed areas. The outlets describe the move as a formal termination of the earlier pact rather than a new boundary settlement, and they do not indicate that a replacement agreement is immediately in place. The development is presented as part of an ongoing dispute over maritime jurisdiction between the neighboring states, with Thailand taking steps to withdraw from the older mechanism after prolonged lack of progress. The reports do not provide further detail on the terms of termination or the next steps Thailand and Cambodia plan to take regarding their maritime claims.
