In May, tension on the century old border dispute increased in May after the Cambodian soldier was killed in a clash.
Thailand imposed sanctions on civilians and tourists to Cambodia through land, while Cambodia banned some imports from Thailand, including fruits, electricity and internet services. Local Cambodian outlets reported that hundreds of employees had returned from Thailand from May.
Last week, the situation increased when a Thai soldier lost his foot in a landmine explosion. Thailand closed some of its border crossings with Cambodia, expelled his ambassador and recalled himself.
The two sides exchanged bullets early last Thursday, each claiming that the other had triggered the struggle, which has now killed more than 30 people from both sides.
According to Thailand’s army, several casualties on the Thai side have been hit by rockets. Cambodia has said that 13 people have been killed so far, including eight citizens.
Shell and Rocket continued to land in both countries, even peace talks were going on.
Anwar said that Malaysia and other members of the regional block were handed over to help in monitoring the ceasefire, South East Asian countries or ASEAN Association.
Cambodia Prime Minister Hun Manet described it as a very good meeting that he hoped that he would immediately stop the fight. Cambodia has been emphasizing for a ceasefire since Friday, as its boycott forces have been run back by the Thai Army.
Acting Thai PM Fummtham Vichachai spoke briefly, promising to honor the ceasefire.
The two leaders also thanked the US and China, whose representatives participated in the talks. Thailand and Cambodia are trying to interact on a business agreement with Washington, and China remains an important business partner with influence.
It will still take several days to fulfill a verified return of soldiers on both sides and to cool emotions in the last five days given the destruction and loss of life.
