Ceasefire talks between Cambodia and Thailand have indeed commenced, with Malaysia acting as the mediator. Notably, the negotiations also include the participation of representatives from both China and the United States, reflecting the broader international interest in maintaining regional stability in Southeast Asia.
These talks likely aim to:
- Ease border tensions between the two nations, particularly around disputed areas like the Preah Vihear temple region.
- Prevent escalation into larger military confrontations.
- Establish a framework for long-term cooperation or conflict resolution.
The involvement of China and the U.S. suggests a desire by major powers to ensure that the dispute does not disrupt broader geopolitical dynamics or economic stability in the region.
