ASEAN Diplomacy Efforts: December 22 Meeting Aims to De-escalate Thai–

The recent flare-up of the Thailand-Cambodia border dispute has once again underscored the region’s underlying tensions. The Southeast Asia conflict, marked by sporadic violence and entrenched disagreements over territorial lines, has prompted ASEAN to convene a crucial meeting. Scheduled for December 22 in Kuala Lumpur, this gathering of foreign ministers aims to employ ASEAN diplomacy to de-escalate tensions, protect regional stability, and foster a pathway towards lasting peace. The outcome of this meeting holds significant implications not only for the two nations involved but also for the broader Southeast Asian region.
