Thailand and Cambodia have agreed to an "immediate and unconditional ceasefire" after five days of fighting at their border killed at least 33 people and displaced tens of thousands.

"This is a vital first step to a de-escalation and a restoration of peace and security," said Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, flanked by his Thai and Cambodian counterparts, as he announced that hostilities would end at midnight.

Thailand initially rebuffed his offer to mediate but agreed after US President Donald Trump said tariff negotiations would not proceed until "fighting STOPS".

Tensions over the century-old border dispute had ramped up in May after a Cambodian soldier was killed in a clash.
