Overview
- The ceasefire took effect at noon Saturday with pledges to halt attacks, freeze troop movements and airspace violations, and enable civilians to return.
- Thai and Cambodian foreign ministers met China’s Wang Yi in Yunnan alongside military representatives to discuss consolidating the truce and rebuilding trust.
- Thailand describes the accord as a conditional arrangement and says it retains the right to self-defence if violations occur.
- At the end of the 72-hour observation period, Thailand plans to return 18 Cambodian soldiers detained since July if the truce holds.
- Weeks of clashes left more than 100 people dead and displaced hundreds of thousands; China has begun delivering humanitarian aid to support the displaced.
