PHNOM PENH/BANGKOK — Cambodian and Thai leaders began face-to-face talks on Monday afternoon in Malaysia in a bid to end five days of cross-border clashes that have left at least 34 people dead and displaced more than 270,000.
Hosted by Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, the current ASEAN chair, at his official residence in Putrajaya, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet and Thailand’s acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai were scheduled to meet for more than two hours.
