On December 24, the media reported that the authorities of Cambodia and Thailand had begun negotiations to resolve the armed conflict on the border. According to The Nation, the defense ministers of the two countries are expected to sign a ceasefire agreement on December 27. However, reports emerged indicating that fighting continued.
Clashes along the Cambodia–Thailand border resumed on December 7. The sides have accused each other of violating the ceasefire that was reached in October in Malaysia through the mediation of U.S. President Donald Trump. The territorial dispute between Thailand and Cambodia has lasted for more than a century.
