Cambodia and Thailand have agreed to an immediate and unconditional ceasefire following peace talks in Malaysia. Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced the truce would begin at midnight, calling it a crucial step toward restoring peace and stability, BBC reported.
The conflict, which escalated on 24 July after months of rising tensions, has left at least 33 people dead and displaced thousands. The ceasefire comes after US President Trump urged both countries to halt hostilities as a condition for ongoing trade discussions with Washington.
The long-running border dispute traces back over a century to territorial divisions made during the French occupation of Cambodia, according to BBC.
