BANGKOK (Dec 26): Thailand's defence minister will join ongoing talks with Cambodia on Saturday that could lead to a truce, the Thai premier said on Friday, as border clashes between the two Southeast Asian neighbours continued for a third week. A Cambodian defence ministry spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Thai and Cambodian officials have been holding parleys at a border crossing since Wednesdayas hostilities between the two countries continued. Since the conflict restarted, neither Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim — chair of the Asean bloc that facilitated the previous ceasefire — nor Trump have been successful in halting hostilities. Thailand and Cambodia have accused each other of moves that led to the breakdown of the July truce, which was expanded into a wider agreement in October to help settle the conflict.
