Wall built on Thai-Cambodian border; conflict between the two countries continues

Thailand is building a wall approximately 3.6 meters high and approximately 8.3 kilometers long on its border with Cambodia. The conflict continues even after a cease-fire was agreed after last year's military clashes, and border crossings remain closed. The Thai military says the purpose of the wall is to prevent military attacks, people smuggling and smuggling, and to prevent people involved in online fraud from entering the country, but the Cambodian government objects, saying its construction is unilateral. This has had a long-term impact on the lives of residents in the border area, and on the Thai side, restrictions on the movement of Cambodian workers have caused a labor shortage during the longan harvest season.

Regarding the Washington meeting between U.S. President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, U.S. experts have pointed out that the emphasis will be placed on promoting friendly relations rather than concrete progress in cooperation.

Topics include the postponement of arms sales to Taiwan and AI risk management, and there are also concerns about the impact on US allies.
