Cambodia and Thailand Agree to Hold Talks After Days of Cross-Border Fighting, Says Trump
- After days of cross-border fighting near Ta Muen Thom temple on July 24, Cambodia and Thailand agreed to hold ceasefire talks brokered by US President Donald Trump.
- The conflict followed long-standing tensions dating to the 1962 International Court of Justice ruling awarding Preah Vihear temple to Cambodia and escalated in 2008 when Cambodia sought UNESCO listing.
- The fighting involved mobilization of troops and equipment by Thailand, with casualties totaling at least 32 dead and more than 130,000 civilians displaced amid ongoing border disputes along the 508-mile frontier.
- Following a recent meeting, Cambodia’s representative to the United Nations expressed that his nation has called for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire along with a peaceful resolution to the conflict. Meanwhile, Thailand has indicated its general support for the ASEAN ceasefire proposal but emphasized that Cambodia must halt hostile actions first, according to Thai Foreign Minister Maris Sangiampongsa.
- The ceasefire agreement to quickly work out peace reflects diplomatic efforts by Trump and regional leaders, with trade deals contingent on ending hostilities and both parties seeking to resume dialogue and restore stability.
