China called on Thailand and Cambodia Monday to exercise restraint and prevent tensions on their common frontier from rising following border clashes between soldiers from the two southeast Asian nations.
"China hopes the two nations exercise calm and restraint, resolve disputes through consultation, and prevent the situation from escalating," foreign ministry spokesman Hong Lei said in a statement on his ministry's website.
China maintains friendly ties with both nations, he added.
Cambodian and Thai troops clashed for a fourth straight day on Monday in a border dispute that has claimed at least six lives, Phnom Penh said.
