Following the December 28 ceasefire, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi hosted Cambodia and Thailand for trilateral talks in Yuxi, Yunnan, on December 30, urging full implementation for lasting peace and offering Beijing's support amid U.S. claims of credit.
Building on the Cambodia-Thailand ceasefire signed December 28, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi hosted a trilateral meeting on December 30 in Yuxi, Yunnan province, attended by Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Prak Sokhonn, Thai Foreign Minister Sihasak Phuangketkeow, and military representatives from all three nations. This followed bilateral meetings on December 29.
The sides exchanged views on solidifying the ceasefire, resuming exchanges, rebuilding trust, improving bilateral ties, and ensuring regional stability. Wang emphasized China's mediation under President Xi Jinping's Global Security Initiative, calling the ceasefire hard-won and urging phased restoration of relations through dialogue. He pledged China's role as a promoter, including ceasefire monitoring, humanitarian aid, and de-mining support via the Joint Coordinating Task Force and ASEAN Observer Team.
Cambodia and Thailand thanked China for the platform, committed to implementing the ceasefire, managing disputes, and maintaining border peace. A joint release highlighted the truce's benefits for regional stability, with China vowing continued facilitation 'in the Asian way.'
Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump claimed credit on Truth Social December 29, but China's statement attributed success to joint efforts.
