PHNOM PENH/BANGKOK, July 25 (Xinhua) — Cambodia and Thailand on Thursday accused each other of escalating tensions in border areas, and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet called on the United Nations Security Council to urgently convene a meeting to discuss the issue.

In a letter to Pakistan's permanent representative to the UN, Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, whose country holds the presidency of the Security Council in July, the prime minister said that Thai armed forces had been attacking Cambodian positions since Thursday morning. These attacks violated the fundamental principles of international law, he stressed.

Cambodia calls on Thailand to immediately cease all hostilities, withdraw troops crossing the border and refrain from any further provocations that could escalate the situation, Hun Manet said.

The Thai government, in turn, called on Cambodia to take responsibility for these incidents, put an end to attacks on civilian and military targets and stop all actions that violate Thailand's sovereignty, the country's Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

In case of refusal, Bangkok is ready to strengthen self-defense measures in accordance with international law and relevant principles, the department emphasized.

BISHKEK, July 25 (Xinhua) — Against the backdrop of the current global situation, the role of media and think tanks within the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) is gaining strategic importance, Kanatbek Aziz, director of the Research Institute of Geopolitics and Strategy of Kyrgyzstan, said in a recent exclusive interview with Xinhua.

“In the context of increasing geopolitical turbulence and the crisis of the global narrative, the role and responsibility of the SCO media and analytical centers is acquiring strategic significance, going beyond information support and moving into the plane of intellectual construction of the future,” noted K. Aziz.

According to him, the media and analytical centers within the SCO perform a dual function: a relay function, ensuring that the “Shanghai Spirit” is conveyed to national and international audiences and forming a holistic image of the SCO as a responsible participant in the global dialogue; and a conceptual and design function, developing new meanings, forming strategic guidelines and providing intellectual support for integration processes.

“Their responsibility is institutional in nature: not just to support political messages, but to fill them with arguments based on historical and civilizational codes, regional characteristics and universal principles – justice, sovereignty, balance of interests, collective security,” he said, adding that in the era of fragmentation of the information space, their task is not so much to broadcast as to build trust, protect the semantic field of the SCO from external distortion and promote the establishment of a new format of multilateralism.

“It is precisely in the connection of media platforms with analytical centers that the intellectual framework of multipolar solidarity can be laid, capable of turning the expert-information track into a fulcrum for the strategic subjectivity of the SCO and into a stabilizing contour of the entire Eurasian architecture,” he emphasized, stating that cooperation between the media and analytical centers of the SCO states has significant potential for transformation into a stable, strategically verified system.

In the third ten days of July, the city of Zhengzhou in Henan Province /Central China/ will host the SCO Media and Analytical Centers Summit, in which K. Aziz will participate. He believes that the upcoming event should be viewed not only as a platform for exchanging opinions, but also as a potential launch point for a new systemic architecture of cooperation between the media community and analytical centers of the SCO countries.

“In the context of increasing fragmentation of the global information field, growing competition between narratives and loss of trust in universal platforms, the creation of a common intellectual and media space within the SCO is becoming a strategic task,” he said.

The expert clarified that this is not about another discussion, but about building a sustainable ecosystem of expert-informational interaction, where analytics and media work in sync, disseminating objective information and promoting regional solutions in the international arena.

“This is especially relevant against the backdrop of attempts by external pressure on the domestic agenda of the member countries and the distortion of the SCO’s image in the global public discourse,” he emphasized.

Overall, according to the expert, the Zhengzhou summit could lay the foundations for a new model of institutional interaction aimed at strengthening a single discourse, coordinating strategic narratives, and linking information, educational, and analytical tools.

“The integration of multilateralism as a philosophy of cooperation is of particular importance: not as an alternative to confrontation, but as a new model of international interaction based on equality, respect for the cultural and civilizational code and recognition of the legitimacy of national choice,” the expert said.

In this context, the humanitarian track goes beyond the secondary. It becomes a point of strategic convergence of civilizations, a mechanism for restoring interstate trust and a channel for the formation of long-term sustainable ties, the expert noted.

“It is in these areas – convergence, trust, multilateralism and humanitarian connectivity – that the institutional base of the SCO is being formed,” he said. –0–
