US Issues Urgent Travel Warning For Two Nations
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The U.S. has warned American citizens about the increased risks of traveling to Cambodia and Thailand amid a border dispute between the two countries which has left at least 32 dead and prompted the evacuation of tens of thousands. The U.S. State Department raised its travel advisory on Friday from level one to level two, warning American citizens to avoid the border between the countries due to civil unrest. Morgan Stark, from geopolitical and cyber risk consultancy S-RM told Newsweek while the border dispute dates back decades, what is new this time is how Thai authorities have tried to disrupt the logistics infrastructure of organized scam networks extending into Thailand from Cambodia. Cambodian soldiers stand on a military truck with an anti-aircraft gun in Oddar Meanchey province on July 26, 2025. Cambodian soldiers stand on a military truck with an anti-aircraft gun in Oddar Meanchey province on July 26, 2025. TANGWhy It Matters The updated U.S. travel advisory comes amid concerns over an escalation of a long-standing dispute between the two Southeast Asian neighbors who share a 500-mile land border—largely mapped by France when it ruled Cambodia for 90 years until 1953. What To Know On Friday, the U.S. State Department updated its travel advisories for Cambodia and Thailand on Friday, from level one to level two, with level four being the strongest warning. Part of the advisory included a level four warning to avoid all but essential travel within 50 km (30 miles) of the border due to fighting between Cambodian and Thai military, including rocket and artillery fire which caused civilian casualties. It said the U.S. government has limited ability to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens in these provinces due to the armed conflict. A similar warning was also put in place for Thailand, with the travel advisory being updated to level two for the whole country, and level four for the border area. Thailand and Cambodia have each accused the other of firing the first shots, Bangkok saying hostilities began with Cambodia's military deploying drones to conduct surveillance of Thai troops near the border. Cambodia says Thailand started the conflict when it violated a prior agreement by advancing on a Khmer-Hindu temple near the border. Tensions erupted into fighting when a land mine explosion along the border wounded five Thai soldiers on Wednesday. The Thai government said more than 58,000 people have fled to temporary shelters in four affected border provinces and Cambodian authorities said more than 23,000 people have been evacuated from areas near the border. Stark, from S-RM, told Newsweek Thai authorities coordinated raids at 19 different locations on the border last week in an attempt to disrupt scam networks extending into their territory from Cambodia. Cambodian opposition figures have speculated this pressure from Thai authorities may have motivated a Cambodian response at the border, on the basis that revenues from scam groups, allegedly fund the Cambodian government, Stark said. While these claims have not been corroborated, highly informed parties on the ground in Cambodia believe that senior officials are on the take from these criminal groups, he added. What People Are Saying U.S. State Department: "Do not travel to areas within 50 km of the Thai-Cambodian border due to ongoing fighting between Thai and Cambodian military forces … There are reports of fighting, including rocket and artillery fire, between Cambodian and Thai forces along the border." Thailand's ambassador to the United Nations, Cherdchai Chaivaivid, told a Security Council meeting: "Thailand urges Cambodia to immediately cease all hostilities and acts of aggression, and resume dialogue in good faith." Cambodia's defense ministry said in a statement Thailand had launched: "a deliberate, unprovoked, and unlawful military attack" and that "deliberate military preparations reveal Thailand's intent to expand its aggression and further violate Cambodia's sovereignty." Morgan Stark, head of Asia at geopolitical and cyber risk consultancy S-RM: "Ongoing tension in the relationship between the Thai civilian government and military is also a recurring dynamic in the dispute." What Happens Next Both sides have sought diplomatic support and called on the other to cease fighting and start negotiations. The U.N. Security Council held an emergency meeting Friday and Malaysia, which chairs the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) that includes both countries, called for an end to hostilities and offered to mediate.

Chinese firm seals $100 million grain deal in Angola, second agriculture investment this week
China's Sinohydro Group will invest more than $100 million in Angola to develop new sources of grain. Sinohydro Group is set to invest over $100 million in Angola for grain development. Angola granted a tax-free 25-year land concession of 30,000 hectares to Sinohydro. The project aims to improve agricultural infrastructure using existing equipment. China's Sinohydro Group will invest more than $100 million in Angola to develop new sources of grain, marking the second major agricultural agreement between the two countries in less than a week. Under a deal signed late Thursday in Luanda, Angola granted Sinohydro a 25-year, tax-free land concession covering 30,000 hectares across six eastern provinces, Bloomberg reported. The Chinese engineering and infrastructure giant will utilise equipment already available in the country to expedite the rollout of logistics and agricultural support infrastructure. 'Angola has vast land but lacks basic infrastructure,' said Li Xunfeng, Sinohydro's Managing Director, at the signing ceremony. 'This is the right time to invest; the environment here is better than in many African countries.' The announcement follows a $250 million investment revealed earlier this week by a subsidiary of Chinese state-owned conglomerate Citic Ltd., which plans to develop large-scale soybean and corn farms in Angola. Sinohydro, which has been operating in Angola for over two decades, stated that the new project aligns with the Angolan government's initiative to revive large-scale farming and reduce its reliance on food imports. 60% of output bound for China According to Agriculture Minister Isaac dos Anjos, about 60% of the produce, mainly soybeans, will be exported to China, while the remainder will support domestic consumption. The concession will be divided into plots ranging from 500 to 1,000 hectares to accommodate both commercial farms and community-led initiatives. Sinohydro also plans to establish a seed research and testing centre to improve yields and attract more Chinese agribusinesses to the country.

Everything you need to know about Austrian wine
This article was produced by National Geographic Traveller (UK). I first came across Austrian wine around 30 years ago in San Francisco, of all places, at a restaurant called The Slanted Door that served Vietnamese food, with which I was equally unfamiliar. I was blown away by a fresh, peppery white called grüner veltliner — a wine made from a grape of the same name — along with how well it suited the dishes we'd ordered. Since then, it's become hugely popular. Almost every supermarket has an own-label grüner and it's still my go-to with most Southeast Asian food. Although it accounts for a third of Austrian wine production — approximately 70% of of which is white — grüner is not the only type in town. Austria also produces world-class riesling, generally drier than those from Germany, along with some stunning sauvignon blancs and chardonnays, the latter known locally as morillon. Then there are some seductively soft, supple reds made mainly from zweigelt (the most widely planted red variety) and sumptuous, sweet blaufränkisch wines (Austria has its own protected designation of origin, Ruster Ausbruch). Add to this the sparkling wines, known in Germany as 'sekt', it's hard to avoid the conclusion that Austria has it all. Not to mention it has one of the most alluring wine tourism destinations on the outskirts of Vienna. On a balmy summer evening, there's nothing better than heading up into the hills and sitting in one of the many heurigers. These taverns serve the local wiener gemischter satz, or 'Viennese field blend', the official term for the light, aromatic white wines made from grapes that are randomly intermingled in a vineyard — the traditional way of planting before vineyards were devoted to a single variety. Other Austrian regions to look out for are Burgenland, traditionally the source of some of the best reds and sweet wines; Wachau, largely for grüner and riesling; and Styria, which has some of the most stunning full-flavoured sauvignon blancs. Wherever you go in the country, it's hard to overstate Austrians' passion for wine. Which is why the 1980s scandal, during which a number of its wineries were found to have adulterated their wines with diethylene glycol (an ingredient used in antifreeze), must have cut them to the quick. However, nothing of the kind has happened since, and the quality consistently increases. Indeed, Austrian wines remain one of the most reliable options on restaurant wine lists. A comparatively high proportion — as much as 24% — of the country's vineyards are certified organic or biodynamic, and you'll tend to find these wines in many of the capital's coolest restaurants and wine bars. But if a weekend away isn't on the cards, Newcomer Wines in Dalston, east London, specialises in Austrian varieties and runs tasting sessions. Five Austrian wines to try Unearthed Gemischter Satz 2024 It's hugely enterprising of Aldi to have recently taken on this field blend of different white grape varieties. These combinations create a fresh, aromatic wine to sip as an aperitif or enjoy with dim sum or spicy snacks. £8.99. Waitrose No 1 Grüner Veltliner 2023/4 Waitrose, an early adopter of grüner veltliner, has a classic peppery example in its No 1 range, made by the excellent Markus Huber (who features on other own-brand labels). Great with Vietnamese food but also perfect with schnitzel. £12. The Society's Austrian Red 2023 This juicy and eminently affordable wine, based on the native zweigelt grape, is the perfect introduction to Austrian reds. Swig it at a barbecue, sip it with salami or enjoy it with pizza — it goes with practically anything. £9.50. Weingut Bründlmayer Kamptal Riesling Terrassen 2022/3 Austria's rieslings are among its best and costliest wines. This organic example — fruity but piercingly sharp and intense — is well worth the price. Drink it with spiced Asian food or smoked salmon. £23.95. Jurtschitsch Brut Rosé Klassik Another wine based on zweigelt, this time a fruity sekt — the sparkling rosé that's Austria's answer to pink champagne. Have it outdoors on a summer evening, ideally in Vienna, and all will be right with the world. £34. Published in Issue 28 (summer 2025) of Food by National Geographic Traveller (UK).
