BEIJING, November 13 (Xinhua) — China sincerely hopes that Thailand and Cambodia can exercise restraint and prevent any escalation, Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said on Thursday.
According to media reports, on November 11, Thailand announced it was suspending the implementation of the joint declaration on peace on the Thai-Cambodia border after Thai soldiers were injured in a mine explosion near the Thai-Cambodian border on November 10. On the afternoon of November 12, Thai soldiers opened fire in Cambodia's Banteay Meanchey Province, resulting in civilian casualties.
Answering a question at a regular press briefing, Lin Jian said China has noted some new circumstances and problems that have arisen in the implementation of the joint declaration between Thailand and Cambodia.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson emphasized that, as a friend and neighbor of both countries, China sincerely hopes that both sides can exercise restraint, move toward each other, conduct friendly consultations, effectively utilize existing bilateral mechanisms, and find a mutually acceptable solution as soon as possible to prevent further escalation.
China will continue to play a constructive role in helping to ease tensions in its own way, Lin Jian added. –0–
