Thailand has handed back two Cambodian soldiers ahead of important border negotiations, but Cambodia is pushing for the return of more troops still held by Thailand. Tensions between the two nations over their shared border remain high.
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.
