Thailand returns two Cambodian troops in advance of key border talks

Editor’s Note: This story highlights ongoing friction between Thailand and Cambodia over border disputes, which have led to military standoffs in the past. The return of some soldiers could be a small step toward easing tensions, but Cambodia’s demand for more releases shows the issue is far from resolved. With key talks coming up, this move could either help de-escalate the situation or just be a temporary gesture before tougher negotiations. For regional stability, how these talks unfold matters.
