Thailand, Cambodia Pledge to Rebuild Ties After Deadly Clashes

Thailand and Cambodia pledged to rebuild bilateral relations, after long-simmering tensions erupted into deadly clashes last year, causing diplomatic ties between the Southeast Asian neighbors to be downgraded.

The two countries’ foreign ministers will work together on a list of “practical, confidence-building measures starting with issues where we have common ground and can be implemented immediately,” Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said in a statement after meeting his Cambodian counterpart at a regional summit hosted by the Philippines. Anutin did not elaborate on what those measures would entail.
