In an effort to negotiate a resolution to the four-day crisis, Thailand and Cambodia have decided to meet in Malaysia on Monday. After US President Donald Trump contacted the leaders of both nations on Saturday to demand a rapid ceasefire, Thailand said on Sunday that a delegation headed by acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai will attend.
According to the Thai authorities, Malaysia informed them that Prime Minister Hum Manet of Cambodia will also be present. Since border violence began on July 24, thousands of Thai and Cambodian citizens have been displaced, and at least 33 military and civilians have been killed.
Trump posted on Truth Social that both countries “have agreed to immediately meet and quickly work out a Ceasefire and, ultimately, PEACE!” as he kicked off a private tour of his golf facilities in Scotland.
Although bombardment persisted overnight into Sunday, both nations expressed gratitude for his efforts and concern. Thailand emphasized the necessity for communication between the two countries, while Cambodia agreed to his plea for a truce. Given that its military is weaker than Thailand’s and that it has been losing territory and equipment to Thai airstrikes and artillery bombardments, Cambodia has previously suggested a truce.
