CAMBODIA'S prime minister Hun Manet said on Friday that he had supported a proposal by the Malaysian premier for a ceasefire with Thailand, which later withdrew its initial backing of the plan.
The two Southeast Asian neighbours are currently locked in their heaviest fighting in over a decade, which Malaysia's Anwar Ibrahim - also the chair of the regional bloc ASEAN - is seeking to resolve.
“The key to resolving the current armed conflict between Thailand and Cambodia is the genuine willingness of the Thai side to accept a ceasefire,“ the Cambodian premier said in a Facebook post. - Reuters
