US EditionArmy chiefs try to resolve Thai-Cambodian border dispute
- The army chiefs of Thailand and Cambodia convened in Tokyo last Thursday to address and find a solution to the border tensions near Chong Bok in Ubon Ratchathani province.
- The meeting followed a deadly clash earlier in the week that killed one Cambodian soldier and heightened tensions over the disputed 'Emerald Triangle' territory.
- Officials agreed to pull back troops from the disputed area and assigned a combined border committee to provide their findings within a fortnight, while diplomatic discussions were also held during the 30th Nikkei Forum.
- Hun Manet emphasized the importance of addressing border disputes with calm and through proper legal and diplomatic procedures, warning that resolving the issue through the court would eliminate opportunities for dialogue. Meanwhile, Thai officials denied rumors about any imminent shutdown of border crossings.
- The discussions aim to maintain border stability and bilateral cooperation, with both sides emphasizing dialogue and avoiding escalation amid ongoing regional sensitivities.
