China and the US preside over the talks on the Cambodia-Thailand conflict in Malaysia, which will start at 4 p.m.!
According to the arrangement after Malaysian Prime Minister, ASEAN rotating chair Anwar sought opinions from all parties, the talks will officially begin at 4 p.m. on July 28, hosted by Malaysia, with China and the United States representatives present as observers and mediators. Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet and Thai Acting Prime Minister Pramote have already led their country's government and military high-level officials to Kuala Lumpur.
The main theme of today's talks is ceasefire. There are significant differences between the two sides on border issues. Thailand has clearly stated before the talks that it will not mention the 1:200,000 map. Thailand only promises to delineate the boundary line according to the 1:50,000 map, and Thailand does not commit to synchronizing the talks with the ceasefire. Therefore, military actions along the Thai-Cambodian border are still ongoing.
Land disputes have complex historical origins, and due to the International Court's previous not very complete and clear judgment, its resolution cannot be achieved overnight. Therefore, the immediate priority is to determine a point of loss limitation, allowing both sides to first cease fire and withdraw, to avoid further escalation of the situation.
