After the meeting, the Thai side summarised the outcomes as follows:
- Both sides agreed to cooperate in implementing the joint statement of the 3rd GBC meeting and to resolve issues through peaceful means.

- Border-line discussions will use the JBC (a government-level mechanism), with each side remaining in the areas under its control following the ceasefire.
- The border area remains dangerous due to landmines and booby traps, which could detonate at any time as a result of forest fires.
