The United States has expressed support for the recent General Border Committee meeting held in Kuala Lumpur, which focused on reinforcing the ceasefire agreement between Cambodia and Thailand. The meeting also aimed to set up an ASEAN observation mechanism to monitor compliance.
In a statement, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said, "The United States welcomes the General Border Committee meeting today in Kuala Lumpur as an important step forward in solidifying the ceasefire arrangement and establishing the ASEAN observation mechanism. President Trump and I expect the governments of Cambodia and Thailand to fully honor their commitments to end this conflict. We remain grateful to Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim for his leadership and for hosting the ceasefire process, a direct result of his willingness to co-organize with the United States the July 28 Special Meeting to address the conflict. We look forward to supporting Malaysia, ASEAN, and both countries as this process moves forward."
Malaysia played a key role by hosting and helping organize talks aimed at ending hostilities between Cambodia and Thailand. The U.S. indicated its ongoing commitment to work with Malaysia, ASEAN, and both parties involved as efforts continue toward lasting peace.
