In a bold move towards peace, China has pledged to support ASEAN’s efforts to mend ties between Cambodia and Thailand. Spokesperson Guo Jiakun of the Chinese Foreign Ministry emphasized that China will back talks for peace and play a crucial role in turning around relations between the two nations.
The General Border Committee (GBC) meeting is underway in Malaysia from August 4 to 7, with China invited to an extraordinary session on August 7. This meeting offers a key platform for multi-tiered dialogue, aiming to develop a detailed mechanism for ceasefire monitoring under Malaysia’s active coordination as ASEAN's rotating chair.
Following a successful informal consultation on July 30, the situation along the Cambodia-Thailand border has deescalated, with no recent clashes reported. Through ongoing communication with Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, and other regional players, China continues to support a just and fair approach to restore harmony in the region.
Stay tuned as this historic peace process unfolds—this could be a turning point for regional stability! 😊
