KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 10 (Bernama) -- Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has expressed appreciation for the openness and willingness of both his Cambodian and Thai counterparts to continue negotiations aimed at easing tensions and preventing any misunderstanding that could further escalate the situation.
Anwar, who spoke with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet and Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul yesterday, regarding the ongoing tensions along their shared border, said Malaysia remains committed to supporting peaceful dialogue.
“While a definitive resolution has yet to be reached, sustained diplomatic engagement has ensured that no more serious incidents occurred during these critical hours.
“Malaysia will continue to support peaceful dialogue, solutions grounded on international law and strengthened regional cooperation to safeguard the stability and security of our shared region,” he posted on his Facebook today.
The century-long Cambodia-Thailand border dispute, which flared up again in July and led to a five-day military clash, saw both countries agreeing to a ceasefire in Kuala Lumpur on July 24.
They later formalised the Kuala Lumpur Peace Accord at the 47th ASEAN Summit on Oct 26 in a ceremony witnessed by Anwar as ASEAN chair and the United States President Donald Trump.
However, renewed clashes on Monday caused several deaths and thousands displaced.
