The ceasefire came after a phone call between Acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai and U.S. President Donald Trump, according to a statement from the Thai Foreign Ministry released Saturday.

During the call, Phumtham expressed gratitude to Trump for his concern over the recent border conflict and reaffirmed Thailand’s commitment to a ceasefire, while urging Cambodia to demonstrate “sincere intention” toward peace.

Phumtham requested Trump’s help in conveying Thailand’s call for immediate talks with Cambodia to establish a framework for the ceasefire and a long-term peaceful resolution. Thailand emphasized its desire to “convene a bilateral dialogue as soon as possible.”

Following his discussions with both Thai and Cambodian leaders, Trump, currently in Scotland, posted on Truth Social that the two countries had agreed to begin ceasefire negotiations without delay.

“Both parties are seeking an immediate ceasefire and peace… They have agreed to meet immediately and work quickly toward a ceasefire and, ultimately, PEACE,” Trump wrote.

Clashes between the two nations sparked after a land mine explosion along the disputed border, which injured five Thai soldiers on Wednesday. The skirmishes have since escalated, resulting in the deaths of at least 19 people in Thailand—most of them civilians, while Cambodia reported 13 fatalities on its side.
