PHNOM PENH: Cambodia's prime minister Hun Manet said on Friday (July 25) that he had supported a proposal by the Malaysian premier for a ceasefire with Thailand, which later withdrew its initial backing of the plan.
The two South-East Asian neighbours are currently locked in their heaviest fighting in over a decade, which Malaysia's Anwar Ibrahim - also the chair of the regional bloc Asean - is seeking to resolve.
