PHNOM PENH: Cambodia has urged Thailand to resume talks as soon as possible on their disputed border, a long-standing disagreement<\/a> that led to deadly clashes last year.<\/p>\n

Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet said on Saturday (Apr 11) that he “strongly hopes” the two neighbours will be able to work together “quickly and with sincerity”.<\/p>\n

“This will be (the) foundation for long-lasting peace that would allow our people living along (the) shared border to live peacefully. Cambodia is fully ready,” he said in a statement posted on social media.<\/p>\n

Thailand’s foreign minister Sihasak Phuangketkeow said earlier on Saturday that his country was not ready to resume talks, even though a new government had just been formed.<\/p>\n

When asked about Cambodia’s renewed call for negotiations, he said it had the “right” to do so, but that Thailand had its “own procedures” to follow.<\/p>\n

The two Southeast Asian countries have been at odds for decades over the demarcation of their 800km border, a legacy of the French colonial era.<\/p>\n

The dispute erupted into several rounds of clashes last year, killing dozens of people and displacing more than a million in July and December.<\/p>\n

The countries signed a ceasefire agreement in late December that allows for border talks.<\/p>\n

But tensions on the frontier remain, with both sides trading accusations of truce violations.<\/p>\n

Cambodia claims Thai forces captured several areas in border provinces – contrary to their agreement – and has demanded their withdrawal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
