Fighting has escalated between Cambodia and Thailand, forcing hundreds of thousands of civilians to flee their homes on both sides of the neighbouring countries' border. Now, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is taking the lead in attempts to end the violence and reach a peace deal. All this comes after an attempt by United States President Donald Trump to end the war failed."

The Thai and Cambodian foreign ministers are scheduled to meet soon to pursue what Thailand calls a true ceasefire.
