Malaysia urged Thailand and Cambodia to restart peace talks to resolve a border conflict which has left two soldiers dead and threatens to embarrass other Southeast Asian nations.
Foreign Minister Rais Yatim said he would carry a peace message from Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi to Thailand this week.
"I am going there with a message from Prime Minister Abdullah and also with a specific request from me [to the two countries] to de-escalate and return to the conference table,'' he said.
His remarks come as Thai and Cambodian military officials postponed talks on Tuesday.
The talks would now be held on Thursday or Friday, still in Siem Reap.
