The leaders of Thailand and Cambodia have agreed to an immediate and unconditional ceasefire to end their border clashes, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said on Monday, following talks in Malaysia between the two Southeast Asian neighbours.
Ibrahim said following mediation in Malaysia: 'Both Cambodia and Thailand reached a common understanding as follows: One, an immediate and unconditional ceasefire with effect from 24 hours local time, midnight on 28th July 2025, tonight.'
Cambodia's prime minister Hun Manet praised US president Donald Trump for his 'decisive mediation' following the border dispute that flared up last week.
Trump last night threatened to halt US negotiations with both Cambodia and Thailand until the 'fighting STOPS', with US secretary of state Marco Rubio chiming in and saying that America wanted the conflict to end 'as soon as possible.'
Tensions between Thailand and Cambodia boiled over last week, following the killing of a Cambodian soldier during a brief skirmish late in May.
