(Dec 22): Cambodia and Thailand agreed to discuss conditions for a ceasefire later this week, after foreign ministers from Southeast Asian nations met in Kuala Lumpur in a fresh bid to end deadly border clashes between the two neighbours. Army representatives from Cambodia and Thailand will discuss a potential ceasefire in a bilateral meeting of the General Border Committee on Dec 24 in the Thai border province of Chanthaburi, Thai Foreign Minister Sihasak Phuangketkeow told reporters. Asean foreign ministers welcomed the resumption of ceasefire talks, Sihasak said in a briefing in Kuala Lumpur. The meeting also urged Cambodia and Thailand to resume talks, including through bilateral mechanisms and Asean channels, the statement said. Thailand previously insisted that for peace to be restored, Cambodia must publicly announce a ceasefire first and cooperate on efforts to remove land mines.
