BEIJING: The top priority for Thailand and Cambodia is to agree to a ceasefire as soon as possible and resume dialogue, and resolve their border disputes peacefully, a special Chinese envoy to the region said.
For three weeks, Thailand and Cambodia have engaged in daily exchanges of rockets and artillery along their 817 km (508 miles) land border, after a truce first brokered by Malaysia as Asean chair and US President Donald Trump collapsed.
China has since joined the top diplomats of the 11-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations in urging both countries to exercise restraint and take steps to halt fighting.
