Thailand and Cambodia have agreed to an immediate and unconditional ceasefire following five days of deadly clashes along their disputed border. The agreement was reached during peace talks held in Malaysia, hosted by Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. The ceasefire took effect at midnight local time on July 28. The border conflict, which began after a landmine explosion injured five Thai soldiers, has resulted in at least 33 deaths and displaced over 300,000 people. Both sides blamed each other for the outbreak of violence. The ceasefire agreement was announced by Anwar Ibrahim, who confirmed the willingness of both countries to halt hostilities. The talks involved participation from ASEAN, the European Union, and China. U.S. President Donald Trump also played a diplomatic role, stating that he had applied pressure which contributed to the ceasefire and that he has instructed U.S. officials to resume trade negotiations with Cambodia and Thailand. Military commanders from both countries have met to uphold the ceasefire as calm returns to the region, amid concerns about the impact of the conflict on international trade.
