The Thai Foreign Minister, Sihasak Phuangketkeow, stated that the ceasefire in July was rushed, influenced by the United States' desire to have an agreement signed before Trump's visit. He emphasized the need for a more in-depth discussion to ensure a stable ceasefire that reflects the reality on the ground. Meanwhile, recent violence between Thailand and Cambodia has led to the deaths of at least 41 people and the displacement of nearly a million. Both countries blame each other for the escalation of the conflict, which includes artillery exchanges and airstrikes. At the ASEAN meeting, the Malaysian foreign minister called for urgent attention to the situation, highlighting its impact on the population. The current conflict is the worst among ASEAN member states since the association was established in 1967, affecting the credibility of the bloc. The United States and China are trying to mediate a new ceasefire, with China playing an active role in facilitating dialogue between the two countries.
