Thailand and Cambodia have agreed to an “immediate and unconditional” ceasefire that will take effect from midnight local time, 5pm European time, on Monday.
Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim made the announcement after hosting peace talks between Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen and Thai acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai in Kuala Lumpur.
The meeting comes after the latest armed conflict along the border erupted last week, resulting in the deaths of many people, including soldiers, on both sides of the disputed border.
Thai and Cambodian military commanders will hold a formal meeting on Tuesday morning.
Officials from the US and China also attended the meeting on Monday.
