Thai and Cambodian leaders will meet in Malaysia for talks to end hostilities, a spokesperson for the Thai prime minister's office said Sunday. This comes following pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump to end a deadly border dispute,

Ceasefire talks have started between Thai and Cambodian leaders in Malaysia in an urgent effort to resolve deadly border clashes that entered a fifth day despite mounting international calls for peace.

Thailand and Cambodia exchanged heavy artillery fire for a second day on Friday as fighting intensified and spread, while Cambodia's leader said Thailand had agreed to a Malaysian ceasefire proposal but then backed down.

Thailand's acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai warned Friday (July 25) that cross-border clashes with Cambodia that have uprooted more than 130,000 people "could develop into war", as the countries traded deadly strikes for a second day.

Thailand bombed Cambodia with F-16 fighter jets on Thursday, as relations between the two countries imploded following clashes on a disputed border near the Emerald Triangle.

The Chairman of ASEAN, Anwar Ibrahim, says Malaysia has contacted both leaders as tensions rise at the Thailand-Cambodia border.

Thailand and Cambodia clashes have killed at least 12 and Asean's principle of non-interference faces strain, criticised for its silence and inaction, leading Cambodia to appeal to the UN Security Council.

The UK Foreign Office has issued updated advice for travelling to Cambodia and Thailand amid clashes on the border. This morning (July 24), skirmishes broke out at a disputed part of the Thailand-Cambodian border, with troops exchanging fire.
