A ceasefire has been confirmed between Thailand and Cambodia after the battles

• Thailand and Cambodia have confirmed a ceasefire after days of conflict.
• China participated as a mediator in the negotiations between the countries.
• More than 260,000 people have been evacuated due to the fighting.

Thailand and Cambodia have confirmed their fragile ceasefire after days of hostilities along the border, during which at least 43 people were killed. The conflict escalated over disputed territories, and on July 29, 2025, the countries agreed to ceasefire.

On July 30, Thailand accused Cambodia of "blatant violations" of the agreement, stating that their troops had been attacked by Cambodian forces. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Thailand reported that the shelling continued until early morning. Meanwhile, the Cambodian government denied the accusations, asserting that there were no shellings on their territory.

At a meeting in Shanghai, which took place under the auspices of China, representatives of both countries reaffirmed their commitment to the ceasefire agreement and expressed gratitude for China's constructive role in reducing tensions. This meeting took place after the premiers of both countries agreed on a "mutual" ceasefire.

Notwithstanding the confirmed agreement, the situation remains tense. Over the past few days, more than 260,000 people have been forced to leave their homes due to the fighting, and many of them still remain in shelters.

Earlier, Cambodia and Thailand had conflicts over their 800-kilometer border, and recent hostilities began after a blast last month, resulting in Thai soldiers being injured. The necessity for peace in the region became evident when U.S. President Donald Trump emphasized the importance of the agreement and promised support for stabilizing the situation.
