BEIJING, July 27 (Xinhua) — China will adhere to a fair and impartial attitude, continue to maintain close communication with Cambodia and Thailand, actively promote reconciliation and negotiation, and play a constructive role in promoting a ceasefire, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said Sunday.
With international mediation, Cambodia and Thailand recently expressed their willingness to end hostilities, although clashes continue along the border between the two countries, according to media reports.
Answering a question about China's position on this situation, the official representative of the Chinese Foreign Ministry drew attention to the fact that Cambodia and Thailand have always been and will be neighbors to each other, and at the same time, both countries are friends and neighbors of China.
According to him, firmly adhering to the principle of good-neighborliness and mutual trust, as well as properly resolving differences, serve the fundamental and long-term interests of the two countries, as well as peace and stability in the region.
The official said China was deeply saddened by the casualties on both sides and expressed its sincere condolences.
As the diplomat pointed out, China hopes that both sides will proceed from the interests of the two peoples, cherish peace and good-neighborliness, maintain calm and restraint, reach a ceasefire at an early date, and peacefully resolve differences through dialogue and consultation, so as to restore peace and stability in the border areas at an early date.
Noting that Cambodia and Thailand are important members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), the spokesperson said ASEAN has been actively promoting a ceasefire between the two sides in recent days. China highly appreciates this and welcomes all efforts to help de-escalate the situation, he added. –0–
