This is a vital first step towards de-escalation and the restoration of peace and security. Second, to convene an informal meeting of regional commanders, regional military one and two on the Thai side and regional military four and five on the Cambodian side at 7 hours on 29th July 2025, which means tomorrow morning at 7. And followed by meeting with defence attaches led by the chair of ASEAN if both sides are agreeable. And three, to convene a meeting of the General Border Committee, GBC, on 4th August 2025 to be hosted by Cambodia,” said Anwar.
