Syrian, Israeli diplomats met in Paris to discuss 'de-escalation'
The latest in a series of US-mediated talks resulted in "understandings that support stability in the region", the agency said.
Washington has been at work in recent weeks to try to resolve security issues in Syria and Lebanon, which its ally Israel says have prompted it to take military action.
Despite a truce reached last November, Israel has continued to hit targets of the Iranian-backed Hizbollah group in Lebanon, and it has occupied territory and hit targets across Syria since last year's fall of dictator Bashar al-Assad.
Tuesday's meeting in Paris follows one between Syrian Foreign Minister Assad al-Shaibani and Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer in Baku in late July, and another meeting in Paris before that.
Israel and Syria have technically been at war since 1948, and the talks also discussed reviving a disengagement accord from 1974 that created a buffer zone between the two countries.
"These talks are taking place under US mediation, as part of diplomatic efforts aimed at enhancing security and stability in Syria and preserving the unity and integrity of its territory," the agency said.
The recent meetings between the two countries come after deadly sectarian clashes in July in southern Syria's Druze-majority Sweida province which left over 1,400 people dead.
The clashes initially pitted local Druze fighters against Sunni Bedouin tribes but soon saw the involvement of Syrian government forces and Israel, with the latter saying it wanted to protect the Druze.
Last month, Israel struck the Syrian presidential palace and the army headquarters in Damascus.

North Korea's Kim hails 'heroic' army fighting with Russia
SEOUL: North Korean leader Kim Jong Un heaped praise on his nation's troops deployed to help Russia in its war against Ukraine during a meeting with commanders, state media reported Thursday. Kim "conveyed warm encouragement" to the officers and the soldiers serving in Russia's Kursk region, the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported, referencing an area where intelligence agencies say Pyongyang has sent more than 10,000 fighters. "Ours is a heroic army," Kim was quoted as saying in a speech to members of the North's military in the capital. "Our army is now doing what it ought to do and what needs to be done. It will do so in the future, too," he added. Kim's remarks come as US President Donald Trump ramps up so-far fruitless attempts to end the Russia-Ukraine war, having held high-profile talks with the leaders of both countries in recent days. But Russian President Vladimir Putin, who last week hailed the North Korean troops as "heroic," has up to now avoided meeting his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy for peace talks. Russia and North Korea have been forging increasingly close ties, including signing a mutual defence pact last year when Putin visited the reclusive state. In April, North Korea confirmed for the first time that it had deployed a contingent of its soldiers to the front line in Ukraine, alongside Russian troops. South Korean and Western intelligence agencies have said Pyongyang sent more than 10,000 soldiers to Russia's Kursk region in 2024, along with artillery shells, missiles and long-range rocket systems. Around 600 North Korean soldiers have been killed and thousands more wounded fighting for Russia, Seoul has said. --AFP

French researcher faces new Russia espionage charges
MOSCOW: A French researcher who is serving three years in a Russian prison is now being investigated for espionage, according to a court filing seen by AFP on Wednesday. Documents showed that Laurent Vinatier is facing a new court hearing on August 25 on espionage charges, which carry a sentence of up to 20 years in prison. Vinatier, who worked for a Swiss conflict mediation organisation, is one of a number of Westerners who have been arrested in Russia since diplomatic tensions soared over Ukraine. The French government has demanded that Moscow release him and accused Russia of taking Westerners hostage. He was found guilty in October last year of gathering information on the Russian military and of violating its 'foreign agent' law, as he did not register as one. The 'foreign agent' law has been widely used against domestic Kremlin critics. Vinatier worked as an adviser with the Geneva-based Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue, and is a veteran researcher on Russia and other post-Soviet countries. He said in court that in his work he always tried to 'present Russia's interests in international relations'.

Migrants bordered by uncertainty
Hundreds of thousands of Cambodian migrant workers have been heading home from Thailand as the two countries work to keep a ceasefire in armed clashes along their border. Tensions between the countries have escalated due to disputes over pockets of land along their 800km border. A five-day clash in July left at least 43 people dead and displaced more than 260,000 in both South-East Asian nations. A fragile ceasefire brokered by Malaysia, with backing from the United States and China, appears to be holding while officials try to resolve issues underlying the conflict. The retreat has left many of the workers streaming back to Cambodia wondering how to get by after they left jobs that enabled them to send money back to their families. Kri Phart, a 56-year-old poultry worker, said he began packing after reading a post by Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet on Facebook urging migrants to return to Cambodia. 'I have no idea if the fighting will really stop and with fewer and fewer Cambodians in Thailand, I got nervous. I didn't want to be the last Cambodian migrant in Thailand. Military policemen patrolling the main road of Kamrieng. — AP 'I got scared because of the border conflict,' said Kri Phart, one of thousands of Cambodians streaming shoulder-to-shoulder through the Daung International Border Gate last week, hauling rainbow-coloured bags, appliances and even guitars in the 40°C heat. 'Many of the Cambodians I knew working in Thailand ran away. Everyday, more and more of us fled,' he said. The reasons driving Cambodians to flee Thailand are varied. Human rights activists reported that some migrant workers had been attacked by gangs of young Thais. Others were alarmed by unsubstantiated rumours that the Cambodian government would seize their land and revoke their citizenships if they didn't return home by mid-August. Cambodia's Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training estimates that 1.2 million Cambodians were working in Thailand when the border disputes began to escalate in June. Estimates vary, but Sun Mesa, a ministry spokesman, said at least 780,000 – about 65% – have returned to Cambodia. He said the workers could find jobs with equal pay and benefits back home. Many of those who were driven by poverty or climate change to leave for work in Thailand have expressed doubts. 'Now that I am back, there is going to be no income for a while and this will really put my family in a bad situation,' said Thouk Houy, 26, who left a job at a leather factory south of Bangkok that enabled her to send US$70 (RM296) to US$100 (RM422) a month back to her parents. 'I'm the last of my siblings who is still single, meaning it's my responsibility to support my parents. I don't know how I can do that now that I am back home,' she said. Going home: Migrant workers re-enter Cambodia through the Daung International Border Gate in Kamrieng.— AP Minor spats between Cambodian and Thai workers at the factory and her mother's nightly pleas for her to go home were factors behind her decision to leave, she said. Handing over her belongings to be strapped into the back of a precariously packed van, Thouk Houy said the clincher was a claim by influential former prime minister Hun Sen, father of the current prime minister, Hun Manet, that Thailand was preparing to invade. 'Now that I'm home, what will I do to make a living?' she asked. Migrant workers fill vital roles in Thailand's farming, construction and manufacturing industries. They also send home close to US$3bil (RM12.67bil) in remittances each year, according to labour ministry data. The loss of that income can be devastating for families relying on it to manage big debts, said Nathan Green, an assistant professor of geography at the National University of Singapore. 'These kinds of conflicts demonstrate how precarious migrant livelihoods are in Cambodia,' Green said. An overseas advocacy group, the Khmer Movement for Democracy, has urged the government to defer loan payments and provide incentives for companies to hire returning migrants. 'Without economic safeguards, families of returning migrants will not be able to repay their debts and financial institutions will be at their throats,' said Mu Sochua, the group's president. 'We are talking about the poorest of the poor, who will be deprived of incomes.' Meng Yeam, who was trying to wave down a taxi while keeping an eye on his belongings, said he managed to send his family back home 20,000 baht (RM2,594) while working as a manager at a rubber factory in eastern Thailand's Chonburi province. More than 90% of the Cambodians working in the factory have left, the 32-year-old said. Meng Yeam said he expected his family to be okay, though they won't be able to save as much as it did while he was working in Thailand. And he was glum about the prospects for things to return to normal. 'Cambodia and Thailand need each other to do well, but for now, it seems like we just cannot get along,' he said. 'I hope we can work in Thailand again one day, but who knows, maybe I will be retired by the time we stop fighting.' — AP
