“Our greatest effort is to avoid war! It is not because we fear war, but because we know that war brings only destruction. We are not those who covet others’ land, nor are we aggressors seeking to seize what is not ours. We are compelled to take up arms solely to defend the integrity of our territory. We have done so much—and yet, we are no longer safe.” —H.E. Prak Sokhonn, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation
