Bangkok | Thai and Cambodian leaders were set for talks on Monday to halt the deadliest clash between the neighbours in more than a decade, with the US and China sending envoys after President Donald Trump used tariff threats to press for a ceasefire.
Thailand’s acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet were scheduled to meet in Kuala Lumpur at 3pm local time (5pm AEST), according to Thai government spokesman Jirayu Houngsub. The gathering was scheduled for the office of Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, who’s facilitating the dialogue in his role as the chair of the Association of South-East Asian Nations.
