Thailand and Cambodia Seek New Ceasefire Amid Ongoing Border ClashesMon 22nd Dec, 2025Defense authorities from Thailand and Cambodia are preparing to resume discussions aimed at restoring a ceasefire after intense fighting along their shared border has continued for a third consecutive week. The earlier ceasefire, arranged in July through mediation by Malaysia, China, and the United States, had temporarily halted violence, but was unable to withstand subsequent escalations. ASEAN officials have underscored the urgency of reducing hostilities and emphasized the importance of a sustainable ceasefire between the two countries. International actors, including the United States and China, have stepped up diplomatic efforts to encourage restraint on both sides. Thailand has reported ongoing artillery and drone attacks from Cambodian forces, leading to counterattacks on what it identifies as military targets along the border.
