What is the Thailand-Cambodia ceasefire pact?

Asked 3 days ago

Answer

The Thailand-Cambodia ceasefire pact, brokered during a Southeast Asian summit, requires both nations to stop hostilities, withdraw heavy weapons from border areas, and return captured soldiers. The agreement follows deadly border clashes but does not resolve the underlying territorial dispute. The pact was facilitated with US involvement and trade incentives, but tensions and violations persist along the border.
