As planned, the defense ministers of Thailand and Cambodia reviewed compliance with the ceasefire agreement signed a week ago in this same capital.

When the pact came into force, both nations accused each other of violating their peace commitments, and representatives of their respective military forces held meetings to monitor the situation and provide concrete support for the important de-escalation mechanism.

The parties are expected, for four days, to agree on approaches and measures to maintain peace in the border areas.

The current Thailand-Cambodia conflict started on July 24, with mutual accusations of having fired the first shot.

It claimed the lives of 43 people on both sides, including several civilians, in addition to causing dozens of injuries and the displacement of nearly 300,000 people.

This meeting is seen as part of the efforts to resolve the conflict between the two countries.
