Thailand and Cambodia have made a positive development in their attempt to ease the tension following their five-day border conflict that claimed at least 43 people and displaced more than 300,000 people on both sides.
Previously, China and Malaysia attempted to resolve this conflict, but the fight between two nations continued. That was until the U.S. stepped in, with President Donald Trump threatening both countries to ceasefire or he would cancel their trade negotiations.
Despite a truce made on 28 July, the tension remains high. However, there seems to be progress as top defence officials from Cambodia and Thailand met each other in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and had been negotiating since August 4.
After spending four days formulating and finalising peace terms, both nations agreed to follow the conditions and allow ASEAN’s observers to inspect the disputed area. In addition, Thailand and Cambodia also agreed to hold more talks in the next two weeks and one more in a month.
