Beijing, 27 December 2025 — China has welcomed the joint statement between the Kingdom of Cambodia and the Kingdom of Thailand agreeing to an immediate ceasefire, affirming that the agreement demonstrates dialogue and consultation as viable and effective means for resolving complex disputes.

China reaffirmed its readiness to continue providing platforms and creating favorable conditions for Cambodia and Thailand to engage in fuller, more substantive, and detailed communication, aimed at strengthening mutual understanding and restoring stability along the border.

The statement further confirmed that Mr. Wang Yi, Member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and Minister of Foreign Affairs, will meet H.E.
