UNITED NATIONS — The UN Security Council called Monday for a “permanent ceasefire” between Thailand and Cambodia after a border dispute erupted into deadly clashes last week around a Hindu temple.
Council president Maria Luiza Ribeiro Viotti of Brazil made the call after a closed door session with the foreign ministers of Cambodia, Thailand and Indonesia, which has attempted to mediate the conflict.
“Members of the Security Council urge the parties to establish a permanent ceasefire and to implement it fully,” she said.
She said council members expressed “great concern” over the clashes and “called on the two sides to display maximum restraint and avoid any action that may aggravate the situation.”
