Both countries had signed a ceasefire earlier in July, brokered by US President Donald Trump. But fighting broke out again earlier this month - which both countries have blamed each other for.

On Monday, top officials from both countries met at a summit in Malaysia, their first first face-to-face meeting since fighting resumed.

Speaking afterwards, Thailand's Foreign Minister said the July ceasefire was "rushed", saying it was because the US "wanted the declaration signed in time for Trump's [visit]".

"We were sometimes in a rush because the US wanted it signed by the visit of President Trump," said Sihasak Phuangketkeow.
