First came a push from the Malaysian premier, then China reached out, but it was only after U.S. President Donald Trump called Thailand's leader last week that Bangkok agreed to talks with Cambodia to end an escalating military conflict.

A Thai military statement issued late Wednesday listed seven alleged hostile actions and truce violations by Cambodia. The statement condemned "these reckless and irresponsible actions by Cambodian forces and reaffirms Thailand’s adherence to peace, restraint, and humanitarian principles.”

Thailand and Cambodia reaffirmed their shaky ceasefire on Wednesday after China helped mediate a peace process to end days of border fighting.
