Thailand and Cambodia have agreed to an “immediate and unconditional” ceasefire from midnight to resolve deadly border clashes, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim says.
Anwar, who chaired the talks as head of the ASEAN regional bloc, says both sides have reached a common understanding to take steps to return to normalcy.
Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet and Thai Acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai have agreed to “an immediate and unconditional ceasefire with effect from… midnight of 28 July,” Anwar says, reading out a joint statement.
Hun Manet and Phuntam hail the outcome of the meeting and shake hands at the conclusion of the brief press conference.
The fighting began Thursday after a land mine explosion along the border wounded five Thai soldiers. Both sides have blamed each other for starting the clashes, which killed at least 35 people and displaced more than 260,000 people on both sides.
