Cambodia and Thailand’s senior defence leaders are meeting in Malaysia on Thursday (7 August) again for talks aimed at securing a lasting end to hostilities following a violent and deadly five-day border conflict in late July. The two sides have agreed to ASEAN monitoring and open talks.
Cambodian Defence Minister Tea Seiha and Thailand’s Acting Defence Minister Nattaphon Narkphanit are meeting at Kuala Lumpur at Malaysia’s Armed Forces headquarters to establish protocols for a resolution regarding the border dispute, rebuild trust between military forces, and implement measures to protect civilians and reduce tensions.
In a statement on Thursday, Nattaphon confirmed that Cambodia and Thailand have agreed to let the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) monitor the ceasefire. He added that both sides will continue open dialogue and utilise existing bilateral mechanisms to manage future tensions.
The clashes, which included artillery exchanges and airstrikes, resulted in at least 43 deaths and displaced more than 300,000 people on both sides.
Despite efforts from China and Malaysia, the fighting persisted until U.S. President Donald Trump pressured both nations by linking peace to ongoing tariff negotiations.
These terms were drafted more than three days of senior official talks in Kuala Lumpur and will be finalised with oversight from Chinese and U.S. observers.
The longstanding border dispute stems from undemarcated sections of their 817 km (508 miles) frontier, originally mapped by France in 1907.
