(Reuters) -Cambodia called for a ceasefire with Thailand, AFP reported on Friday, citing Chhea Keo, the country's ambassador to the United Nations.
"Cambodia asked for an immediate ceasefire -- unconditionally -- and we also call for the peaceful solution of the dispute," AFP said in a post on X quoting Keo, who made the statement following a closed meeting of the Security Council attended by Cambodia and Thailand.
Thailand and Cambodia exchanged heavy artillery fire for a second day on Friday as border fighting intensified and spread, while Cambodia's leader said Thailand had agreed to a Malaysian ceasefire proposal but then backed down.
