(Phnom Penh): From 18-23 December 2025, Deng Xijun, Special Envoy for Asian Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) of the People's Republic of China, made another shuttle-diplomacy trip to Cambodia and Thailand to mediate the recent border conflict, according to Chinese MFA Spokesperson Guo Jiakun.

In a message posted on social media, Guo said China supports ASEAN’s mediation efforts and the important role of its observer team in monitoring the ceasefire.

“China is willing to create conditions and provide a platform for dialogue and negotiations between the two parties,” Guo added. “It is hoped that Cambodia and Thailand will meet each other halfway, strive to restore mutual trust, and rebuild border peace.”
