In a vibrant display of regional unity, China has expressed firm support for ASEAN's mediation efforts to resolve the clash between Cambodia and Thailand through the "ASEAN Way." During a meeting in Beijing on Friday, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with ASEAN Secretary-General Kao Kim Hourn and emphasized that both China and ASEAN must work together to safeguard peace and stability across the region.
Wang Yi described the ongoing clashes, which have sadly resulted in casualties, as "deeply distressing and concerning." He pointed to the historical legacy left by Western colonial powers as a root cause of the dispute and urged all parties to approach the situation with calm and careful dialogue. ✌️
As a friendly neighbor to both Cambodia and Thailand, China remains committed to a fair and constructive role in de-escalating tensions. This approach, centered on dialogue and consultation, is a reminder—even in today's fast-paced digital era—that traditional methods of peaceful conflict resolution still hold immense value. 😊
