BANGKOK, Dec. 10 (Xinhua) — Thailand's 1st Army Area Command said on Wednesday that its task force and air force carried out a joint air strike using an F-16 fighter jet on a Cambodian military base across the border from Ban Nong Chan in Sa Kaeo province.

As clashes between Thailand and Cambodia escalate, the Royal Thai Navy has mobilized its sea, land and air forces to protect border areas in Chanthaburi and Trat provinces, according to Thai media reports on Wednesday.

Reports indicate that naval patrol vessels have been deployed to the area for 24-hour patrols and surveillance, prepared for any escalation. The navy has also warned all Thai fishing vessels to avoid the maritime border with Cambodia and to immediately report any Cambodian warships they spot.

Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul told local media in Bangkok on Wednesday that he had not contacted the Cambodian side and that the current moment was not suitable for negotiations.

Thai Foreign Minister Sikhasak Phuangketkeow told foreign media on Tuesday that the current situation is not suitable for third-party mediation and that Cambodia must take the lead in de-escalating tensions.

The border conflict between Cambodia and Thailand resumed on Sunday afternoon. Both sides accused the other of orchestrating the attack and confirmed casualties.

Bishkek, December 10 (Xinhua) — The Central Commission for Elections and Referenda (CEC) of Kyrgyzstan adopted a resolution on the results of the early elections of deputies of the Zhogorku Kenesh (parliament) held on November 30, 2025. This was reported on the CEC's official website on Wednesday.

According to the resolution, the Central Election Commission recognized the elections as valid in 30 multi-member constituencies. Based on the voting results, 87 candidates were elected to parliament in 29 constituencies. The election results in the 13th multi-member constituency were declared invalid due to violations of electoral law.

In the aforementioned early elections, 4,294,243 Kyrgyz citizens were included on the voter list. Of the total number of voters, 1,584,446 took part in the vote, representing 36.90 percent of the total.

To ensure voting, the Central Election Commission opened 2,492 polling stations across the country, 27 stations for remote voting, and 100 polling stations outside of Kyrgyzstan.

According to data previously published by the Central Election Commission, 460 candidates participated in the early parliamentary elections. Thirty multi-member constituencies were established for the parliamentary elections, with three deputies elected in each constituency using the majoritarian system. In each constituency, no more than two of the three seats may be held by members of the same gender. At least 30 parliamentary seats are held by members of the same gender.

As a reminder, on September 25, members of the Kyrgyz Parliament voted to dissolve themselves. The proposal was put forward by an initiative group of 32 members. As explained, there is a short period of time between two important political events—the presidential and parliamentary elections—so, in order to strengthen the political system and stability in the country, the initiative group proposed that parliament voluntarily resign.

On September 30, Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov signed a decree scheduling early parliamentary elections for November 30, 2025.

The Zhogorku Kenesh (Federal Assembly) is Kyrgyzstan's unicameral parliament, consisting of 90 members elected for five-year terms. According to the initial schedule, new parliamentary elections were scheduled for November 2026, but presidential elections are now scheduled for just two months later, in January 2027.

Moscow, December 10 /Xinhua/ – Russia cannot ignore Japan's belligerent policies and the exercises taking place off the coast of Russia, said Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu.

"When we see the intensification of exercises taking place here in the Asia-Pacific region, when we see squadrons of ships deliberately sailing right off our shores, through straits where, generally speaking, they have little business, then, of course, this cannot help but raise concerns," Shoigu noted.

"We certainly can't ignore the emergence of new weapons here, left behind by the United States after the exercises—I'm referring to missiles. The emergence of solutions for mounting missiles on Japanese ships," he added.

"In a relatively short period, a very short period of time, Japan has gone from a country that couldn't maintain its own armed forces to today's decisions, the new prime minister's calls for a two-percent military budget," stated Sergei Shoigu. In his opinion, two percent "isn't just a random number." "Two percent is the same two percent that was envisaged before Donald Trump became president of the United States, before he established five percent. That's the NATO percentage. Therefore, Japan is moving towards that goal step by step," the Russian Security Council Secretary noted.

Sergei Shoigu stated that "the seeds of NATO" are emerging in the East, posing additional threats to Russia and ASEAN countries. "Gradually, alliances are beginning to emerge here, which, one way or another, continue to develop in a direction that worsens the situation. They are created not for something, but against someone," he noted, adding that the security of one side should not be ensured at the expense of the security or increased danger of the other.

Bogota, Dec. 10 (Xinhua) — Colombian cocoa producers are excited about entering the Chinese market after successful negotiations at the 8th China International Import Expo (CIIE) held in Shanghai in early November.

Agreements reached during the event, where Colombia was the guest of honor, include the annual export of 10,000 tons of Colombian cocoa from 26 rural producer associations, according to the state-run Rural Development Agency.

For Colombian cocoa producers, access to Chinese consumers is a "dream" that could "change the lives of farmers, allow them to live better lives, and ensure generational renewal," Esperanza García, legal representative of the Cocoa Producers Association, told Xinhua in an interview. The news of entering the Chinese market has raised great hopes among members of her organization, which represents 155 families and businesses from the municipality of Policarpa in the department of Nariño. They hope their products will soon be available in China, García said.

Secondo Sevillano, a representative of the chocolate brand Paz Sabor, said his organization, comprised of 100 producers from the municipality of Tumaco in Nariño, is awaiting formal approval for cocoa shipments to China. "The next challenge will be preparing to meet the demand that may arise in these Asian markets," he said after presenting his brand at the CIIE. "Demand for our products will depend on the growth we can achieve in our territory, so we continue to prepare to enter these potential markets," Sevillano added. –0–
