Thailand and Cambodia: An Effort Towards Peaceful Borders

Thailand and Cambodia have initiated the withdrawal of heavy artillery and begun de-mining along their contested border. This significant move comes in the wake of an extended truce deal signed last week in Kuala Lumpur, observed by U.S. President Donald Trump, aimed at reducing ongoing tensions.

The countries previously endured a five-day deadly conflict that led to the loss of at least 48 lives and the displacement of thousands. The ceasefire agreement marks a crucial step towards peaceful resolution and includes a phased withdrawal of heavy weaponry, starting with rocket systems followed by artillery and tanks.

Alongside de-escalation efforts, the two nations are collaborating on combating transnational cybercrime. Additional measures include an urgent joint demarcation initiative at disputed border zones, aiming to further solidify the newfound peace between Thailand and Cambodia.
