MOSCOW, April 23 (Itar-Tass) -- The Russian Foreign Ministry has called upon Cambodia and Thailand to end the use of force and take urgent steps towards a peace settlement.
“Once again we are calling on both parties involved in the dispute to behave responsibly, first and foremost – to stop the use of force and take immediate steps towards a peace settlement," the Russian Foreign Ministry said on Friday in connection with a new surge of clashes on the northern section of the border, which resulted in casualties.
The Russian Foreign Ministry recalled that in February this year the UN Security Council "strongly urged Bangkok and Phnom Penh to exercise restraint, avoid escalation of military confrontation and solve the border problem” through an effective dialogue and with support from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), as well as to continue the cooperation with the Association along these lines.
