Thailand and Cambodian forces will return to their previously agreed positions, Thai Defence Minister Phumtham Wechayachai said, following talks on Sunday, after both reinforced their military presence in response to a deadly clash last month.

For days, the two governments have exchanged statements, saying they were committed to finding a peaceful resolution after a Cambodian soldier was killed during a clash on May 28 in an undemarcated border area.

On Saturday, the two countries had both reinforced their military presence, but Phumtham said in a statement on Sunday both sides would revert to positions agreed in 2024.

He also said both sides hoped the border issue could be fully resolved through a meeting of the Joint Boundary Committee, setup to allow bilateral negotiations, on June 14.

Cambodia did not immediately comment following the statement from Phumtham.
