Cambodian Troops to Retreat After Thai Border Talks

Cambodian troops agreed to retreat from the disputed Thai border area in Ubon Ratchathani after Sunday talks with Thai forces. Both sides will return to prior positions and hold weekly meetings. The move follows Thai border restrictions in response to trench digging and a skirmish on May 28. Thailand may escalate to full border closure.
