Malaysia PM calls for restraint between Thai and Cambodian militaries

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim on Monday urged Thailand and Cambodia to exercise restraint after conflict reignited between them, warning the fighting risked undoing the careful work that went into a ceasefire he helped to broker.

“We urge both sides to exercise maximum restraint, maintain open channels of communication and make full use of the mechanisms in place,” Anwar, the chair of the regional bloc ASEAN, said in a post on X.
