A: Hey there! Have you heard anything new about Cambodia and Thailand?
B: Not really, what's up?

A: Well, it looks like they're having a disagreement over their borders again. Last month, they even had a fight that resulted in one Cambodian soldier getting killed.

B: Whoa, that sounds serious! What's happening now?

A: So, the Cambodian Prime Minister posted on social media saying they want to solve this through the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

B: That's a big step, I guess Thailand isn't too happy about it.

A: Exactly! The Thai foreign ministry said they are disappointed and prefer more talks between the two countries instead.

B: Wait, didn't they have talks over the weekend? What happened there?

A: Yeah, but they didn't manage to reach an agreement to ease tensions. Now, concerns are growing because Thailand has limited some border crossings and Cambodia has stopped showing Thai films.

B: That doesn't sound good at all... I hope things get sorted out soon!

Cambodia says it has sent a letter to the International Court of Justice to settle its long-running territorial disputes with Thailand. Last month, the two countries exchanged fire in a contested border area, leaving one Cambodian soldier dead.



Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet said on social media Sunday that his country has chosen to solve the disputes through the ICJ mechanism.



Thailand's foreign ministry said on Monday it is deeply disappointed with Phnom Penh's move and called for further bilateral negotiations.



The two countries held talks over the weekend in Phnom Penh, but failed to reach an agreement to ease tensions.
Concerns are mounting over their frayed relations. Thailand has restricted some border crossings and Cambodia has banned the screening and broadcasting of Thai films.
