Thailand-Cambodia peace talks enter second day with expanded delegations

The second day of the Thailand-Cambodia General Border Committee secretariat meeting began at the Thai side of the border in Chanthaburi Province on Thursday morning, with about 30 delegates from each side engaged in the peace talks.

Only four people from each side participated in the initial talks at the Ban Phak Kat permanent checkpoint on Wednesday, which set the agenda for today's full-delegation meeting.

Earlier on the day, the Cambodian Ministry of National Defense said in a statement that the General Border Committee secretariat began its second day of meeting at 9:05.

In the meeting, the two sides continued in-depth discussions to ensure the cessation of hostilities and find solutions to restore stability between the two countries, as well as to facilitate a swift return to normalcy, according to the statement.

The meeting also prepared for the upcoming 3rd Special General Border Committee meeting, which will be held on December 27, 2025, the ministry added.

The Thailand-Cambodia border clashes reignited on Dec 7, with both sides accusing the other of initiating the attack. More than 100 civilians have since been killed and hundreds of thousands evacuated.

China has issued a trial guideline on the ethics review and service of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said on Friday.

The guideline clarifies that the review should focus on human well-being, fairness and justice, and controllability and trustworthiness.

It also details issues that should be addressed in the review, such as the selection criteria for training data, the rationality of the algorithm, model and system design, and measures to prevent bias, discrimination and algorithmic exploitation.

The guideline also calls for promoting the orderly open-sourcing of high-quality datasets for AI ethics review, strengthening the development of general risk management, assessment and auditing tools, and exploring risk assessment based on application scenarios.
