The new truce is built on several clear conditions. Both militaries must stop all attacks at once. They must keep their current positions and avoid any new troop movements that could restart the conflict. The agreement also bans military flights across the border. Thailand must release captured Cambodian soldiers. Both countries have also agreed to begin clearing landmines so that civilians can eventually return home safely.
Whether the ceasefire will last is still uncertain. Earlier agreements collapsed quickly because of mistrust and continued skirmishes. Reports already suggest that violations may be happening, which raises doubts about the strength of this new effort. The situation remains tense, and neither side has fully stepped back from the possibility of renewed clashes.
Even so, the truce offers border communities a brief moment of relief after weeks of fear and displacement. It is not yet clear if this agreement will become a turning point or only a temporary pause in a long and difficult dispute. The coming days will reveal whether peace can take hold or whether the conflict will return once again.
