Thailand and Cambodia Begin Withdrawing Heavy Weapons From Border
The phased withdrawal includes rocket systems, artillery, and tanks, following a deadly five-day conflict that killed at least 48 people, officials said.
- On Nov 3, Thailand and Cambodia began withdrawing heavy weapons and de-mining along their contested border after an extended truce signed in Kuala Lumpur attended by US President Donald Trump.
- The July fighting, which killed at least 48 people and displaced hundreds of thousands, prompted an initial ceasefire brokered by Malaysian prime minister Anwar Ibrahim on July 28 with US involvement.
- The phased plan begins with rocket systems, followed by artillery and then tanks and other armoured vehicles, with Cambodia saying the first phase will run three weeks from Nov 1.
- Government spokesman Siripong Angkasakulkiat said Thailand would withhold releases of 18 Cambodian soldiers and keep border checkpoints closed until it assesses Cambodia's compliance.
- Demining teams have begun work, with Thailand proposing removal in 13 areas and Cambodia in one, and officials expect the withdrawal to conclude by the end of the year while boosting cooperation on transnational cybercrime and urgent joint demarcation effort.
