The United States has renewed its call for Cambodia and Thailand to halt ongoing hostilities and take steps toward peace. The U.S. urged both countries to withdraw heavy weapons, stop placing landmines, and fully implement the Kuala Lumpur Peace Accords. These accords contain measures aimed at speeding up humanitarian demining efforts and resolving border disputes.
A statement from the U.S. also acknowledged regional diplomatic activity: "We welcome ASEAN leaders coming together this week to support Cambodia and Thailand fully honoring their commitments to end this conflict."
The conflict between Cambodia and Thailand has drawn attention within Southeast Asia, with leaders from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) engaging in efforts to encourage both sides to abide by their previous agreements.
