Thailand and Cambodia have agreed to return their troops to agreed pre‑skirmish positions along the Chong Bok sector of the border, according to Cambodia’s defence ministry.

The move follows a brief exchange of fire on May 28 in which a Cambodian soldier was killed and marks a tentative step toward de‑escalation.

Both militaries confirmed the adjustment came after local commanders brokered a ceasefire, while ministers signalled renewed commitment to peaceful resolution through the Joint Border Commission and related bilateral mechanisms.
