BANGKOK: Military commanders from Thailand and Cambodia held talks on Tuesday (July 29), as calm returned to their disputed border and displaced residents began trickling back, following the South-East Asian neighbours announcing a truce to end five days of fighting.

Thai and Cambodian leaders met in Malaysia on Monday and agreed to a ceasefire deal to halt their deadliest conflict in more than a decade that has killed at least 40 people, mostly civilians, and displaced over 300,000 in both countries.
