Thai and Cambodian officials have convened in Malaysia for a new round of talks to solidify a fragile ceasefire following recent border clashes. The meetings, held in a neutral venue and mediated by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), aim to restore peace and security for border communities. The initial ceasefire was brokered last week, partly due to economic pressure from the U.S. The two nations have a long history of border disputes, with recent tensions escalating over a land mine incident and a soldier’s death earlier this year.
