Cambodia calls for ‘immediate ceasefire’ with Thailand after two days of deadly clashes | Thailand

Cambodia wants a “emergency ceasefire ile with the country’s ambassador to the United Nations, said that Bangkok’s 15 dead and thousands of thousands of people were open to negotiations after two -day deadly conflicts.

UN Ambassador Chhea Keo, Cambodia and Thailand, after a closed meeting of the council, “Cambodia, unconditionally – unconditionally – and we call the peaceful solution of the dispute,” he said.

The day before, a long -standing border dispute fought intensively with jets, artillery, tanks and land troops, and a long -term border dispute exploded for the UN Security Council to hold an emergency meeting in the crisis.

The Ministry of Health said that more than 138,000 people have been released from the Thai border regions of Thai border regions, which reported 46 more 15 deaths – 14 civilians – including 15 soldiers, including 15 soldiers.

Authorities in Cambodian Oddar Meanchey reported that a civil-70-year-old male-wounded and five injured, but otherwise he did not give any more details about any loss. Cambodian officials said that more than 23,000 people have been released from the areas near the border.

After the first day of the clashes, he continued to fight in three areas on Friday at around 4 o’clock, but the Thai Army said he started to relax Friday afternoon to AFP, a spokesman for Foreign Ministry Nicorn Degree.

Balankura also said Bangkok was probably open to the negotiations that Malaysia is helpful.

Nicorndej told AFP, who spoke before the UN meeting was held, “Cambodia wants to solve this issue through diplomatic channels or through Malaysia.

Malaysia is currently the presidency of the regional block of the Southeastern Asian Nations Association (ASEAN), where Thailand and Cambodia is a member of.

Previously, Thai Prime Minister Phumtham Wechhayachai had warned that acting that he could “turn into war” if the situation increased.

Bangkok told journalists in Bangkok, “for now, it is limited to conflicts,” he said.

On Thursday, while both sides accused each other for shooting each other, Thailand accused Cambodia, a hospital hit by the shells, and at least one rocket hit by targeting civil infrastructure, including a gas station hit.

In the UN, the ambassador of Cambodia questioned the claim that the country that developed less and less military than Thailand’s neighbor was starting a conflict.

“[The Security Council] Calling both sides [show] Consult a maximum restriction and a diplomatic solution. We are looking for this, Chhe Chhea Keo said.

The fight points to a dramatic rise in a long -lasting disagreement between the borders of 800 km between neighbors. In several areas, dozens of kilometers were appealed and the fight began between 2008 and 2011, and at least 28 people died and tens of thousands of people were displaced.

In 2013, an UN court resolved the decision for more than ten years, but the current crisis exploded when the Cambodian troops were killed in a new conflict in May.
