US EditionThai defence minister to attend truce talks with Cambodia, PM says
- On Dec 27, Thailand's defence minister will join talks with Cambodia that could produce a truce, the Thai premier announced on Dec 26 as clashes continued into a third week.
- The ceasefire broke down in early December, leaving at least 98 people dead and more than half a million displaced amid long-running disputes over an 817km land border.
- Regional mediators and outside powers have pressed both sides, with China’s special envoy Deng Xijun holding talks in Bangkok and Phnom Penh, but Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and U.S. President Donald Trump have failed to halt hostilities.
- If defence ministers agree, they would replicate a previous pact brokered with help of U.S. President Donald Trump, while Mr Anutin Charnvirakul urged both sides to avoid provocation so people displaced can return home.
- A Cambodian defence ministry spokeswoman did not immediately reply, and reporting on the talks and clashes was published on December 26, 2025 as ongoing parleys continued.
