(ECNS) — The Chinese Embassy in Cambodia on Wednesday urged Chinese nationals near the Cambodia–Thailand border to move to safer areas, citing ongoing tensions, and advised those elsewhere in the country to avoid travel to the border region for now.
The Cambodian Ministry of Defense said Monday that the Thai military expanded airstrikes into Siem Reap province, striking an area near a camp for displaced civilians at about 10 a.m. local time, according to Xinhua News Agency.
In case of emergency, individuals should contact local police immediately and seek assistance from the Chinese Embassy, it stated.
To fully leverage information technology in providing better consular protection and services, the Embassy encourages all Chinese nationals in Cambodia to actively download the "China Consular" App or register via its WeChat mini-program to participate in the "Overseas Citizen Registration."
"Based on the registration details, the Embassy will provide tailored security alerts and deliver timely and effective consular protection and assistance," it said.
The Embassy stressed that the app would never request bank account details or other sensitive personal information, nor would it ask for transfers or payments.
"All citizens are urged to enhance their awareness and exercise caution against potential scams," it added.
