Malaysia to host peace talks between Cambodian, Thai PMs tomorrow

PETALING JAYA: Leaders of Cambodia and Thailand are expected to meet in Malaysia for peace talks tomorrow, a Thai prime minister’s office spokesman said in Bangkok.

AP reported Jirayu Huangsap as saying Thailand’s acting prime minister Phumtham Wechayachai will be present in response to an invitation from Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim “to discuss peace efforts in the region”.

He also said Phumtham’s Cambodian counterpart Hun Manet will also attend the talks, though this was not immediately confirmed by the Cambodian side.

This comes following mediation efforts by US president Donald Trump to end the deadly border dispute, which has killed at least 34 people and displaced more than 168,000 in the last four days.

Trump posted on Truth Social yesterday that he spoke to the leaders of both nations, suggesting he would not move forward with trade agreements with either country if the hostilities continue.

Manet said today his country agreed to pursue an “immediate and unconditional ceasefire”, and that Trump told him Thailand had also agreed to halt attacks following the US president’s conversation with Phumtham.
