Thailand's army sent two Cambodian soldiers back home ahead of a key meeting in Malaysia to discuss maintaining a ceasefire along their disputed border, following clashes that killed at least 43 people and displaced over 300,000. The tensions escalated after a Cambodian soldier was killed in May, leading to a troop build-up and diplomatic crisis. US President Trump's phone calls helped broker a truce, and as a result, tariffs imposed on goods between Thailand and Cambodia were reduced from 36% to 19%. Defence ministers and military leaders from both countries will now meet in Malaysia instead of the planned Cambodian capital, with talks scheduled for August 4-7.
