The leaders of Cambodia and Thailand agreed to a ceasefire in a bid to bring an end to their deadliest conflict in more than a decade.

U.S.-backed talks to end the border war, in which militaries have killed dozens of people and displaced hundreds of thousands, began on Monday in Malaysia.

A ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia appeared to largely be holding on Tuesday as military commanders from both countries met for negotiations, even as the Thai army accused Cambodian troops of violating the truce overnight.

The premiers of Thailand and Cambodia have agreed to implement an immediate ceasefire following days of deadly border clashes, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said on Monday after hosting talks between the two nations.

While Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim successfully mediated the peace talks, US President Donald Trump has taken credit for brokering the deal.
