Thailand and Cambodia agree to talks in Malaysia after four days of fighting

Diplomatic efforts between Thailand and Cambodia are set to commence following an agreement by both nations to hold direct talks. These discussions, aimed at de-escalating tensions, will take place in Malaysia. The decision to engage in negotiations comes on the heels of four consecutive days of armed conflict along their shared border. A significant factor in facilitating this diplomatic breakthrough was the direct intervention of US President Donald Trump. The American leader had previously urged both sides to work towards establishing an immediate ceasefire. This high-level call for a cessation of hostilities appears to have paved the way for the upcoming Malaysian talks, offering a path towards a peaceful resolution of the recent skirmishes.
