The ceasefire agreement, signed on Saturday, aims to end hostilities that have claimed over 100 lives and displaced more than half a million people.

Thai Foreign Minister Sihasak Phuangketkeow and Cambodian Foreign Minister Prak Sokhonn are participating in bilateral meetings and a trilateral talk scheduled for Monday. The talks focus on establishing a lasting peace and ensuring the ceasefire holds.

“China stands ready to continue to provide the platform and create conditions for Cambodia and Thailand to have fuller and more detailed communication,” stated a Chinese Foreign Ministry representative.

The ceasefire agreement includes a 72-hour observation period, culminating in the repatriation of 18 Cambodian soldiers held as prisoners by Thailand since July.

China has also announced 20 million yuan ($2.8 million) in emergency humanitarian aid to Cambodia, with the first shipment of food, tents, and blankets arriving today.
