The leaders of Cambodia and Thailand arrived at Malaysia's Seri Perdana Complex, the official residence of Prime Minister Anwar, on Monday (July 28) for talks aimed at securing a ceasefire in their fierce border conflict.
Both the United States and China ambassadors to Malaysia were also present at the meeting in Malaysia's administrative capital of Putrajaya, a Malaysian official said.
Thailand and Cambodia had accused each other of starting the conflict last week and then escalating the clashes with heavy artillery bombardment at multiple locations along their 817-km (508-mile) land border, the deadliest conflict in more than a decade between the Southeast Asian neighbours.
Tensions between Thailand and Cambodia intensified since the killing in late May of a Cambodian soldier during a brief skirmish.
