Thailand and Cambodia Agree Swift Ceasefire After Deadly Border Clashes

THAILAND, JUL 29 – The ceasefire ends the deadliest clashes in over a decade that killed at least 35 and displaced around 200,000 people, following mediation led by Malaysia amid U.S. trade pressure.

  • The leaders of Cambodia and Thailand, Hun Manet and Acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai respectively, announced a ceasefire on Monday to immediately stop hostilities following five days of conflict near Thailand's Sisaket province.
  • The ceasefire followed clashes triggered by a land mine explosion that wounded five Thai soldiers and killed at least 35 people, escalating a diplomatic crisis that pressured the two countries to negotiate in Malaysia.
  • Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim hosted the Monday talks under U.S. encouragement, announcing the ceasefire would take effect at midnight with military commanders set to meet in an informal setting on Tuesday.
  • U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio applauded the ceasefire and confirmed officials were assisting in Malaysia, while President Trump warned trade agreements would not proceed if fighting persisted.
  • Following the ceasefire, fighting ceased on all front lines by Tuesday, raising hopes for tension reduction, peace restoration, and resumed bilateral talks, although some local reports indicated possible violations.
