The United States, which played a major role in ending border clashes last year between Thailand and Cambodia, will provide $45 million (€38 million) in aid packages to the two Southeast Asian countries to help ensure regional stability and prosperity, a senior US State Department official said on Friday.
US Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs Michael DeSombre made the announcement in an online media briefing in Bangkok where he was meeting with senior Thai officials to discuss the implementation of last October’s ceasefire, also known as the Kuala Lumpur Peace Accord.
