ترمب: تايلاند وكمبوديا تتفقان على وقف التصعيد

U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed on Saturday that the leaders of Cambodia and Thailand agreed to hold an immediate meeting to quickly reach a ceasefire, as he seeks to mediate peace after three days of fighting along the border between the two countries.

Acting Thai Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai stated that his country agrees in principle to a preliminary ceasefire agreement with Cambodia, but they want "sincere intent from the Cambodian side."

This came after President Trump spoke with him and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, saying that "the two leaders agreed to meet immediately and quickly work on a ceasefire."

Phumtham also added that he asked Trump "to convey to the Cambodian side Thailand's desire to hold a bilateral dialogue as soon as possible to establish the necessary measures and procedures for a ceasefire and a final peaceful resolution to the conflict."

The military clashes along the Thai-Cambodian border have continued for the third consecutive day, with new conflict points emerging yesterday (Saturday), as each side sought to gain diplomatic support.

At least 30 people have been killed and more than 130,000 displaced in the worst fighting between the two neighbors in Southeast Asia in 13 years.
