Cambodia Tuesday denied reports that Cambodian and Thai troops were again involved in border skirmishes over a disputed ancient Hindu temple.
“There wasn’t a clash between the troops of both sides last night (Monday night),” Brigadier General Thul Sovan told the Xinhua News Agency Tuesday.
The Bangkok Post quoted a Thai officer as saying earlier Tuesday that five Thai soldiers were wounded when Cambodian soldiers attacked their post.
The UN Security Council earlier issued a statement calling upon both sides to call a “permanent ceasefire” and resolve the dispute peacefully.
Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Ma Zhaoxu said at a press conference Tuesday that China supports the peaceful efforts led by ASEAN and is willing to work with the international community to “play a constructive role” in tackling the border conflict.
