Cambodia, Thai officials meet to iron out truce details
Gulf Today
|August 05, 2025
Thai and Cambodian officials met in Malaysia on Monday for the first round of cross-border committee talks since a tense ceasefire was brokered last week after five days of deadly armed border clashes that killed dozens and displaced over 260,000 people.

The four-day General Border Committee meetings were initially due to be hosted by Cambodia, but both sides later agreed to a neutral venue in Malaysia, the annual chair of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, which mediated the halt in hostilities last month.
The July 28 ceasefire followed economic pressure from US President Donald Trump, who had warned the warring nations that the US would not conclude trade deals with them if the fighting persisted.
Washington lowered tariffs on goods from the two countries from 36 to 19% on Aug. I following the truce.
