Cambodia Pushes Back on Thai Scam Strikes, Seeks to Cool Border

Cambodia’s Deputy Prime Minister Sun Chanthol said his country wants to “lower the temperature” in its dispute with Thailand to protect a fragile ceasefire and pushed back against Bangkok’s assertions that the clash was a battle against scam centers operating over the border.

Thailand and Cambodia agreed to a ceasefire last month after the latest round of border clashes killed dozens of soldiers and civilians and displaced more than half a million people.
