Representatives of the Thai and Cambodian armed forces have held a meeting, agreeing on a plan to ease border tensions, the Royal Thai Army said in a statement, TASS reports.

The plan includes an immediate ceasefire, a ban on the use of force against civilians and a ban on reinforcing or moving troops in a manner that could cause misunderstanding. The parties also agreed to facilitate the exchange of the wounded and the bodies of those killed in the recent clashes, and create a joint coordination group at the local level to resolve pressing issues and prevent further incidents.

The Thai military said that the consensus had been reached at a meeting between the leadership of Thailand’s Second Army Region and Cambodia's Fourth Military Region , which took place at 10am local time (3am GMT).

According to the Royal Thai Army, the parties agreed to respect the ceasefire and suspend the movement of troops ahead of a General Border Committee meeting set for August 4.

Relations between Cambodia and Thailand have deteriorated ever since an armed incident on May 28. That day, Thai soldiers opened fire on a Cambodian military position located in the disputed territory between the Cambodian province of Preah Vihear and the Thai province of Ubon Ratchathani, in Techo Morakot village in Choam Ksan District. One Cambodian soldier was killed and several others were injured in the incident. And since July 24, armed clashes have erupted in border areas, as well as around several temples. Dozens of people have been killed and hundreds injured in the tensions on both sides.

Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim on Monday announced a ceasefire between Bangkok and Phnom Penh following talks in Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur between Acting Thai Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet. The ceasefire for the border areas between Thailand and Cambodia took effect after five days of armed clashes. On Tuesday, however, the Thai army accused Cambodia of violating the ceasefire, but Cambodia’s Ministry of National Defense rejected the accusations.
