Thailand and Cambodia will resume talks later this week to work toward a more durable ceasefire along their border, Thailand’s Foreign Minister said Monday (December 22, 2025), stressing that progress depends on detailed bilateral negotiations rather than public declarations that internationalize the dispute. The general border committee involving both nations will meet Wednesday (December 24) to iron out detailed measures toward a lasting ceasefire, he said. “This time, let’s thrash out the details and make sure the ceasefire reflect the situation on the ground and the ceasefire is one that really holds, and both sides are going to fully respect the ceasefire,” Sihasak told a news conference. The border conflict escalated into deadly combat two weeks ago and derailed the agreement promoted by Trump, which ended five days of fighting in July. The agreement was brokered by Malaysia and pushed through under pressure from Trump, who threatened to withhold trade privileges unless Thailand and Cambodia agreed.
