and Cambodia sign ceasefire to end weeks of border fighting"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>The agreement, signed on December 27, 2025, took effect immediately. <\/p>\n<p>It was formalized by Thai defence minister Nattaphon Narkphanit and Cambodian counterpart Tea Seiha at a border meeting, following several days of negotiations to halt the conflict that re-ignited earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p>Under the ceasefire, both sides agreed to halt military advances and air operations, maintain current troop positions, and avoid any further hostilities. <\/p>\n<p>The deal also includes provisions for Thailand to repatriate 18 Cambodian soldiers held since July if the truce holds for at least 72 hours.<\/p>\n<p>The recent clashes have caused significant casualties and displacement on both sides of the border.<\/p>\n<p>Thailand reported military and civilian losses, including at least 26 soldiers and 45 civilians, while Cambodia said at least 30 civilians were killed and 90 injured during the fighting.<\/p>\n<p>Hundreds of thousands of people have been forced from their homes due to the violence. <\/p>\n<p>The ceasefire reiterates past diplomatic commitments and calls for cooperation on issues such as demining and combating cross\u2011border crimes, including online fraud. <\/p>\n<p>Malaysia played a key role in brokering earlier peace efforts, and regional leaders have welcomed the renewed commitment to peace, even as officials emphasized the truce would be a test of each side\u2019s sincerity.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-99784\"><img decoding=\"async\"
