UNITED NATIONS, July 24 (Xinhua) — UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called on Thailand and Cambodia to exercise maximum restraint, his deputy spokesman Farhan Haq said at a daily briefing on Thursday.

“The Secretary-General follows with concern reports of armed clashes along the border between Cambodia and Thailand. The Secretary-General urges both sides to exercise maximum restraint and to resolve any issues through dialogue and in a spirit of good neighbourliness with a view to finding a lasting solution to the dispute,” he said.

The situation on the Thai-Cambodian border escalated after skirmishes on Thursday. Following the escalation, the two sides traded accusations, with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet calling on the UN Security Council to convene an urgent meeting to discuss the issue. –0–
