Cambodia has begun withdrawing heavy weapons from disputed border areas following the signing of a peace agreement with Thailand, Thai media reported.
The move, monitored by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Observation Team, saw both countries relocate artillery and military equipment from contested zones back to their original bases, according to Cambodian outlet Fresh News.
The withdrawal followed a ceasefire and peace accord signed in Malaysia by Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet. The ceremony was witnessed by US President Donald Trump and the ASEAN chair, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.
The agreement formally ends years of deadly border clashes and comes after nearly six months of heightened tensions, including a five‑day armed conflict in July. Observers described it as a historic step toward restoring normal diplomatic ties and rebuilding trust between the two neighbors.
Both governments pledged to coexist peacefully and to promote stability and prosperity along the border. Cambodia reaffirmed its commitment to fully implement the deal and said it would work closely with Thailand to ensure lasting peace and tangible benefits for both peoples.
