Malaysia Says Trump to Witness ThailandCambodia Ceasefire Signing at ASEAN Summit

Thailand has set conditions before embracing any settlement.

Overview

  • Malaysian Foreign Minister Mohamad Hasan said President Donald Trump will be in Kuala Lumpur on October 26 to witness a ThailandCambodia ceasefire declaration during the October 26–28 ASEAN summit.
  • Malaysia and the United States are set to facilitate a broader truce, with proposals requiring both sides to clear landmines and withdraw heavy weapons from the border.
  • The planned declaration has been described as the Kuala Lumpur Accord, intended to formalize and implement steps toward a lasting ceasefire.
  • Washington has not issued an official confirmation of Trump’s attendance, even as Malaysian officials publicize the expected visit.
