- Malaysia houses conversations with the participation of the United States and China.
- The high fire to start midnight on Monday.
- Cambodia PM thanks Trump, China for participating in the rhythm effort.
The leaders of Cambodia and Thailand agreed to stop the fire on Monday from midnight, in an attempt to end their deadliest conflict in more than a decade after five days of fierce fighting.
In the midst of an international effort to quell the conflict, Thai leaders and Cambodians held conversations in Malaysia organized by their Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, the current president of the regional bloc of the ASEAN, where both parties agreed to stop hostilities and resume direct communications.
Anwar said when he opened a press conference along with the Thai leaders and Cambodians who would have “a high immediate and unconditional fire with effect from midnight tonight. This is definitive.”
The residents of Southeast Asia accuse each other of starting the fight last week, before growing with heavy artillery bombardment and Thai air attacks along its land border of 817 km (508 miles).
Anwar had proposed high -fire talks shortly after a long -term border dispute broke out in conflict on Thursday, and China and the United States also offered to help in the negotiations.
The president of the United States, Donald Trump, called both leaders over the weekend urging them to resolve their differences, warning that it would not conclude the trade agreements with them unless the fighting ended.
The tension between Thailand and Cambodia has intensified since the murder of a Cambodian soldier during a brief skirmish at the end of May.
Both parties reinforced the border troops in the middle of a full -fledged diplomatic crisis that led to the fragile coalition government of Thailand to the edge of the collapse.
“Today we have a very good meeting and very good results … That hope of immediately stopping the struggle that has caused many lost lives, injuries and also caused the displacement of people,” said Hun Manet, expressing his appreciation for Trump and China for his efforts to participate in the process.
“We hope that the solutions that Prime Minister Anwar has just announced will establish a condition to move forward so that our bilateral discussion returns to the normality of the relationship and as a basis for the future brokenness of forces.”
Thai interim prime minister Phumtham Wechayachai, who had previously expressed doubts about the sincerity of Cambodia before the negotiations in Malaysia, said that Thailand had agreed to high the fire that “would be carried out successfully in good faith by both parties.”
