Thailand announced its agreement to establish a ceasefire with Cambodia and pursue bilateral discussions late on Saturday. The decision follows three days of intense border conflicts that killed at least 33 people and displaced over 150,000 residents. President Donald Trump facilitated the agreement through separate phone conversations with leaders from both Southeast Asian countries. Thailand's Foreign Ministry confirmed the call between Trump and Acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai. The ministry stated Thailand supports the ceasefire proposal but requires genuine commitment from Cambodia.
Phumtham asked Trump to communicate Thailand's desire for immediate bilateral talks to develop ceasefire procedures and achieve lasting peace. Trump had earlier announced on Truth Social, during his visit to Scotland, that both nations had agreed to meet quickly and establish a ceasefire. The Thai foreign ministry emphasized the need for sincere intentions from Cambodia before proceeding. Military forces from both countries engaged in continuous fighting along their shared border. The conflict displaced thousands of civilians while claiming dozens of lives across the disputed region.
