Ceasefire Agreement Between Thailand and Cambodia

The ceasefire agreement between Thailand and Cambodia, implemented in the early hours of July 29, 2025, aims to halt five days of intense fighting along their disputed 800-kilometre (500-mile) border. The conflict is centered around ancient temples in contested zones.

Background and Conflict

  • The violence, described as the deadliest since 2008-2011, resulted in at least 38 fatalities and the displacement of nearly 300,000 individuals.
  • The border contention traces back to a vague demarcation by Cambodia's French colonial rulers in 1907.

Truce Implementation

  • Both nations agreed to an "unconditional" ceasefire starting at midnight on Monday.
  • Military commanders have planned meetings to further ease tensions, with a cross-border committee convening in Cambodia on August 4.

International Involvement

  • U.S. President Donald Trump intervened over the weekend, with the U.S. State Department facilitating peace talks on the ground.
  • China actively participated in discussions hosted by Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.
  • The United Nations urged both countries to respect the ceasefire and work towards long-term peace.
