Thailand and Cambodia have signed a ceasefire agreement to end their fierce border conflict, according to the Cambodian Defence Ministry. The agreement was signed on December 27, 2025, and aims to bring an end to the violence that has been ongoing for several months.

The conflict between the two countries has resulted in the deaths of several people and the displacement of thousands more. The ceasefire agreement is seen as a major breakthrough in efforts to resolve the conflict peacefully.

The agreement was signed by the Cambodian Defence Minister, Tea Banh, and the Thai Foreign Minister, Don Pramudwinai. The two ministers met in a bid to negotiate a peaceful resolution to the conflict.

The conflict began in October 2025, when a group of Thai soldiers crossed the border into Cambodia, sparking a series of clashes between the two armies. The conflict has been ongoing ever since, with both sides accusing each other of aggression.

The ceasefire agreement is seen as a major step forward in efforts to resolve the conflict peacefully. It is hoped that the agreement will bring an end to the violence and allow for the return of displaced people to their homes.

The agreement was welcomed by the international community, with the United Nations and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) both issuing statements calling for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.

The conflict has had a significant impact on the region, with many businesses and communities affected by the violence. The ceasefire agreement is seen as a major step forward in efforts to restore stability to the region.
