Ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia
The conflict between Thailand and Cambodia escalated on July 24, 2025, following clashes over a disputed territory, where both sides resorted to the use of artillery, missiles, and airstrikes.
On July 28, an unconditional and immediate ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia was reached in Kuala Lumpur under the auspices of Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, US President Donald Trump, and representatives from China.
The ceasefire took effect at midnight and includes the restoration of high-level communication, the establishment of monitoring mechanisms, and a follow-up meeting of military commanders.
