The third China-Cambodia-Thailand tripartite informal dialogue was held in Shenzhen on October 12, 2026. The event, hosted by the China Foreign Affairs University, brought together nearly 100 participants from the three countries, including former diplomats, think tank scholars, and representatives of social organizations.
