Thailand and Cambodia agree to talk about ceasefire

Before Trump talks to the two leaders, the confrontations on the border between Thailand and Cambodia continued on the third day and new focuses of tension emerged on Saturday, when both sides said they acted in self -defense in the border dispute and asked each other to stop fighting and start negotiations.

More than 30 people were killed and more than 130,000 people were displaced in the worst conflict among Southeast Asian neighbors in 13 years.

According to both sides, there were clashes at dawn on Saturday in the Thai Coastal province of Trat and in the Cambodian province of Pursat, a new one against more than 100 km from other conflict points along the border has long been disputed.

The two countries have faced each other since the death of a Cambodian soldier in late May, during a brief skirmish.

The troops on both sides of the border were reinforced amid a widespread diplomatic crisis that led the Thailand coalition government on the edge of collapse.

Until this Saturday, Thailand said seven soldiers and 13 civilians had been killed in the clashes, while in Cambodia five soldiers and eight civilians were killed, the Ministry of Defense spokesman Mlay Socheata said.
