Thailand and Cambodia to hold ceasefire talks in Malaysia

The leaders of Thailand and Cambodia agreed to meet in Malaysia for talks after their deadly border conflict continued for a fourth day.

The talks are scheduled to begin at 3 PM local time on Monday, in Kuala Lumpur.

U.S. President Donald Trump publicly urged both nations to agree to an immediate ceasefire on Sunday, warning that ongoing trade negotiations would be suspended unless hostilities end.

Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, currently chairing the Association of Southeast Asian Nations regional bloc, offered to host peace talks for both parties.

Thai Acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet are expected to attend the talks.

Over 30 people have died in the worst fighting between the two countries in over a decade, while more than 200,000 people have been displaced.
