The French Foreign Ministry urged both sides to show “restraint and responsibility” and to “settle their disputes by peaceful means in accordance with international law.”
The government of France on Monday called for the “immediate cessation of hostilities” between Cambodian and Thai troops on the border, as fighting for the 11th-straight day ended with a rising death toll.
Neither side has been able to honor a tenuous ceasefire agreed to by commanders on the ground last week. At least 17 people have been killed under artillery shelling, mortar attacks, rocket fire and small arms skirmishes since April 22.
In a statement, Bernard Valero, a spokesman for the French Foreign Ministry, urged both sides to show “restraint and responsibility” and to “settle their disputes by peaceful means in accordance with international law.
