When asked to comment on Thailand's military accusing Cambodia of violating the ceasefire agreement reached the previous day, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said on Tuesday that in recent days, the international community — especially ASEAN's rotating chair Malaysia — has actively mediated and encouraged dialogue, jointly facilitating the Monday meeting between Cambodian and Thai leaders. The ceasefire reached by Cambodia and Thailand marks an important step toward de-escalation, and China appreciates and welcomes this progress, Guo noted.

Guo emphasized that China supports Malaysia in continuing to play its role as ASEAN chair and advancing a political resolution through ASEAN's approach. China backs all efforts conducive to building mutual trust and easing tensions.

As a friend and close neighbor to both Cambodia and Thailand, China will maintain close communication with both sides and, in accordance with their wishes, continue to play a constructive role in consolidating the ceasefire consensus, the spokesperson said.
