Both the Cambodian and Thai governments are upholding the December 27 ceasefire agreement as described in the release.
The U.S. Department of State press statement "Upholding the Cambodia-Thailand Ceasefire" (Dec. 31, 2025) explicitly states, "The United States welcomes the resolute efforts of the Cambodian and Thai governments to uphold the December 27 ceasefire agreement." Independent reporting from Reuters and the AP/ABC News corroborates that the United States welcomed the Dec. 27 ceasefire and noted Thailand's release of 18 Cambodian soldiers as a positive related step. Verdict: True — the primary State Department source directly supports the quoted claim and is corroborated by mainstream news outlets.
