PHNOM PENH (Reuters) – Cambodia will ask Thailand to sign a permanent cease-fire at a regional meeting next week following deadly clashes over a disputed stretch of border, and will request foreign monitors to make sure the truce holds.
Prime Minister Hun Sen said on Thursday Cambodia would ask for commanders from both armies to hold regular talks and for the 10-member Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) to send observers or troops to guarantee the cease-fire.
“The situation now is that each side is accusing the other of shooting first, so don’t be afraid, we call for a third party for observation,” Hun Sen told a news conference, in a comment aimed at Thailand.
