BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) — Thailand and Cambodia reaffirmed their shaky ceasefire violation after days of fighting along their border, as China stepped into negotiate with the two countries.

The talks between commanders on both sides were seen as a crucial test of whether the cease-fire deal reached on Monday would result in a lasting peace.

Observation teams are set to be deployed on Wednesday (July 30) to monitor the implementation of a ceasefire between Cambodia and Thailand, Cambodian Defence Ministry's Undersecretary of State and spokesperson Lieutenant General Maly Socheata has said.
