BEIJING, Jan 5 (Reuters) – The agreement between Thailand and Cambodia on a ceasefire is being “gradually” implemented, the Chinese foreign ministry said on Monday.
China hopes both sides will ensure a “comprehensive” and “lasting” ceasefire, said ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said at a regular news conference.
Thailand has returned 18 soldiers to Cambodia, Lin also said.
Thailand and Cambodia agreed a second ceasefire at the end of December, ending weeks of border clashes that amounted to the worst fighting in years between the Southeast Asian neighbours.
