JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Southeast Asian leaders have made little headway in helping Thailand and Cambodia end deadly clashes along their disputed border.
The two sides held talks Sunday — mediated by Indonesia’s president — but failed to reach an agreement.
Repeated outbreaks of fighting along the border have claimed nearly 20 lives in the last two weeks and sent 100,000 people fleeing from their homes.
The dispute is allegedly over control of ancient temples claimed by the two nations. It has stirred nationalist sentiment on both sides, but analysts say domestic politics is fanning the fire.
Thai Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya told reporters after Sunday’s meeting: “There’s no conclusion. We’ll need further talks after this.”
