On 27 August 2025, H.E. Dr. Lalivan Karnchanachari, Vice Minister for Foreign Affairs, Ms. Chayika Wongnapachant, Advisor to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, led representatives from the Delegation of the European Union to Thailand to a field visit in Surin Province to inspect hospital and community infrastructure that sustained severe damage as a result of indiscriminate artillery attacks by Cambodian forces.

The delegation was briefed by the Deputy Governor of Surin Province, the Director of Phanom Dong Rak Chalerm Phra Kiat 80th Anniversary Hospital, and representatives from the Third Humanitarian Mine Action Unit, on impacts of the aggression to civilians, as well as government assistance for those affected. The delegation was also briefed about the laying of new landmines by Cambodia, a violation of international humanitarian law and obligations under the Ottawa Convention. The Vice Minister emphasized Thailand's stance of upholding universal principles and international law, particularly the Ottawa Convention and international humanitarian law, as well as commitment to demining operations and providing assistance to civilians.

This visit was an opportunity for the delegation to see first-hand evidence, meet with affected residents in the area, and discuss ways to provide support and assistance following the European Union’s announcement on 19 August 2025, providing 700,000 Euros in emergency humanitarian aid to assist civilians affected along the Thai - Cambodian border.
