Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet said Saturday that the border conflict with Thailand “must be resolved with patience and through legal and diplomatic channels.”
His comments came after a Cambodian soldier was killed earlier this week in a clash along the border.

He made the remarks while speaking to Cambodians in Tokyo, where he has been visiting since Wednesday.
