Thailand’s acting PM Phumtham Wechayachai and Cambodian PM Hun Manet will meet in Malaysia on July 28 for peace talks, hosted by Malaysian PM Anwar Ibrahim under ASEAN’s chairmanship. The meeting follows U.S. President Donald Trump’s intervention, warning of trade freezes unless hostilities end. The conflict, now in its fourth day, has killed at least 34 people and displaced over 168,000. Cambodia has agreed to an “immediate and unconditional ceasefire,” while Thailand expressed cautious support, demanding “sincere intention.” Despite diplomatic efforts, shelling and troop movements continue along the disputed border, with both sides trading blame and recalling ambassadors.
