PETALING JAYA: The Thailand-Cambodia ceasefire is a step forward for peace but more must be done to ensure it lasts, geopolitical experts say.
Describing the Malaysian government’s offer to be a mediator as “very much needed” due to the brewing political tensions between the two nations, political analyst Azmi Hassan said it is unlikely that either Thailand or Cambodia would unilaterally call for a ceasefire.
