Cambodia PM agrees to ceasefire proposed by Anwar
PHNOM PENH: Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet has agreed to the ceasefire proposal with Thailand suggested by Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. In a Facebook post today, Manet said he agreed to the ceasefire because Cambodia did not initiate the fighting. "The key to resolving the current armed conflict between Thailand and Cambodia is the genuine willingness of the Thai side to accept a ceasefire, which is the first step towards finding further solutions between the two countries," Manet said in his posting. Manet clarified that there was unclear reporting by various international media regarding the proposed ceasefire talks initiated by Anwar, the current Asean chair. Manet said he only agreed to the ceasefire after hearing from Anwar that Thailand's acting Prime Minister, Phumtham Wechayachai, agreed to peace talks. But regrettably, the Thai side changed their position on the issue, he said in his posting. "However, it is regrettable that just over an hour later, the Thai side informed that they had reversed their position from agreeing to the ceasefire," said Manet. Anwar said he spoke to both prime ministers on resolving the ongoing conflict on Thursday. The border conflict between Cambodia and Thailand escalated after soldiers from both sides engaged in a clash on Thursday morning along the Oddar Meanchey and Preah Vihear areas. The two neighbours have been quarrelling over an 817-km undemarcated border for decades, which has harmed diplomatic ties. - Bernama

Thailand open to ceasefire but seeks clarification from Cambodia
BANGKOK: Thailand has no objection to a ceasefire in its ongoing border clashes with Cambodia but is seeking greater clarity on the terms, acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai said Friday. Phumtham, who is also Interior Minister, said he spoke with Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who called on Thursday evening and has offered to act as a mediator for a ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia. Thailand, he said, agrees in principle with the offer but stressed that Cambodia must first demonstrate a clear and sincere commitment. "We have no objection, but for a ceasefire to happen, there must be clarity. We've been trying to achieve this all along, but to no avail," Phumtham said at a press conference on the Thailand-Cambodia border situation on Friday. He revealed that he had asked Anwar to ensure there is a concrete commitment and guarantees that similar incidents would not recur. "Only then can we consider the next steps. For now, our military remains on high alert," he said. On Thursday, Anwar in his capacity as current Asean Chair has called Phumtham and Cambodian Premier Hun Manet, appealing to them for an immediate ceasefire and return to peaceful dialogue to resolve the ongoing border dispute. Anwar said Malaysia stands ready to assist and facilitate this process in the spirit of Asean unity and shared responsibility. Thai and Cambodian forces clashed early Thursday in a disputed border area, with both sides accusing each other of initiating the latest round of violence. The latest round of hostility followed a skirmish between troops of the two countries near the Preah Vihear area on May 28. A Cambodian soldier was killed in the shootout. The two neighbouring countries have been locked in recurring diplomatic spats over a long-standing border dispute. - Bernama
