"Both parties have yet to reach common ground, but both parties agreed to return to their respective headquarters to continue exchanging documents and negotiating until a consensus is reached," Maly Socheata, a spokesperson for the Cambodian Ministry of National Defense, said in a press release.

When a consensus is reached, there will be a Cambodia-Thailand RBC meeting and a formal signing ceremony between Cambodia's 5th Military Region and Thailand's 1st Army Area, she added.

Cambodia and Thailand agreed to an immediate ceasefire on December 27 last year, after three weeks of a new round of armed conflict that caused casualties on both sides.
