#BREAKING: Prime Minister Hun Manet said that Thailand had reversed their position from agreeing to the ceasefire at 12:00 AM on July 24 to not agreeing and waiting for a later date.
Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim is well aware of this situation.
"I made it clear to His Excellency Anwar Ibrahim that Cambodia agreed with his proposal for a ceasefire because Cambodia did not initiate this fighting," Hun Manet said in a Facebook post on July 25.
Key to resolving the current armed conflict is the genuine willingness of the Thai side to accept a ceasefire, which is the first step toward finding further solutions between the two countries, he added.
