BEIJING: China on Saturday welcomed a joint ceasefire statement signed by Cambodia and Thailand and said its foreign minister would meet his counterparts from both countries in China, according to a notice posted on the foreign ministry’s website late in the day.
Cambodia and Thailand agreed on Saturday to a second ceasefire in recent months, ending weeks of intense border clashes described as the worst fighting in years between the two Southeast Asian neighbours.
China’s foreign ministry said the agreement showed that dialogue and consultation were practical and effective ways to resolve complex disputes.
