Thailand and Cambodia Agree to Immediate Ceasefire
Thailand and Cambodia have agreed to an immediate and unconditional ceasefire, effective from midnight local time on July 28, 2025, following five days of the worst border clashes in over a decade. The landmark agreement was reached during high‑level talks in Putrajaya, Malaysia, chaired by Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, with participation from the United States. At least 35 people were killed and more than 260,000 civilians displaced across both countries during the violence—making it the deadliest conflict in the modern era between the two ASEAN neighbours. The clashes erupted after Thursday, when a landmine explosion killed five Thai soldiers. Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet welcomed the truce, expressing hope it will allow displaced families to return home and rebuild normal bilateral relations. Acting Thai Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai Thailand's desire for peace, remained cautious, saying that a ceasefire could only follow after Cambodia approaches the ceasefire talks with "sincere intentions". As part of the ceasefire agreement, military commanders from both sides will meet Tuesday morning, and a border committee, to be hosted by Cambodia, will convene on August 4 to build a joint mechanism for monitoring and implementation. Defence and foreign ministers from Thailand and Cambodia will also resume the process. The role of U.S. pressure, in particular from President Donald Trump, was widely credited with helping secure the ceasefire—Trump reportedly warned that trade negotiations and tariff relief would be halted unless a truce was achieved. Despite the agreement, reports indicate that some clashes in the border areas even on the day the ceasefire was declared, underscoring the fragility of the deal and the deep-seated mistrust between the parties. Experts warn that without substantive dispute resolution and institutional trust-building, the ceasefire may prove vulnerable to escalation.

Nigeria: Amb Mignot addresses Faculty, Alumni and Students at Lagos Business School
The EU-Nigeria partnership was again in focus on July 24 2025, as Amb. Gautier Mignot addressed the faculty, alumni and students of the Lagos Business School (LBS), Nigeria's premier incubating ground for policy and business leaders, nested inside the elite Pan Atlantic University, Lagos. The fireside chat themed 'The EU as a Trusted Partner for Nigeria and the World' was part of a lecture series that had previously taken the EU Ambassador to Nigeria and ECOWAS to universities in Abuja, Keffi, Lagos, Kano and Sokoto, and still counting. Amb Mignot spoke of a complex world where shared concerns are driving fears as many people grapple with challenges of security, poverty, even hunger. According to him, the world needs to perform a triple transition: green, digital and inclusive, a transition already being championed by the EU. As globalisation makes problems transboundary, collective global solutions also become necessary. 'While each nation bears its own responsibility and should not rely on others to fix its problems, cooperation is needed more than ever,' he said. Noting that the EU serves as model for collective response to shared problems. The EU network of partnerships across the world aims to extend to the world the same recipe for success. 'We think this is in our best interest too: cooperation, equal rules for all, respect for other nations' rights and legitimate interests, respect of rights individuals and shared prosperity with strong innovation capacities,' Amb. Mignot stated. He underlined the EU's role as a reliable partner for Africa, with significant investments in climate-smart agriculture, renewable energy, digital infrastructure, and education. He hailed the EU-Nigeria partnership rooted in transparency and mutual respect. 'Your progress is our progress,' he said. Dean of LBS, Prof. Olayinka David-West, said the theme of the lecture was not only timely but also deeply resonant in a world increasingly defined by interconnected challenges that require collective solution. 'At Lagos Business School, we see ourselves as a convening space where ideas, policy, and leadership converge to drive sustainable development. The European Union's commitment to inclusive growth, education, and innovation resonates strongly with our vision to develop responsible leaders to inspire Africa's growth,' she said.
