Thailand’s Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra is under pressure to resign after a leaked phone call with Cambodia’s former leader, Hun Sen. In the call, she appeared to criticize Thailand’s military over a border clash that killed a Cambodian soldier. The call sparked public anger and political turmoil, as a major party withdrew from her ruling coalition. Paetongtarn apologized, saying the call was private and meant to ease tensions. Critics say she weakened national interests. Relations between Thailand and Cambodia are tense due to ongoing border disputes. Both countries increased troops and imposed trade restrictions. Cambodia banned Thai products and filed a case with the UN court, but Thailand rejected it. Paetongtarn, a political newcomer and daughter of the former leader Thaksin, has been Prime Minister for only 10 months. Many now question her leadership, while nationalists in both countries push for stronger action. The situation remains tense and uncertain.
Pray for unity and oneness among the leaders of Thailand and Cambodia to find a peaceful solution to end the border disputes. Pray for peaceful relations between the two countries (The Holy Bible, Matthew 5:9).
Pray for political stability in Thailand. Pray for the authorities to work towards the development of the lives and livelihoods of the citizens (The Holy Bible, Proverbs 11:14).
