Samdech Moha Borvor Thipadei Hun Manet, Prime Minister of Cambodia, received a congratulatory phone call this evening from U.S. President H.E. Donald Trump, who personally commended him on the successful negotiation of an immediate ceasefire between Cambodia and Thailand.
The call came shortly after Samdech Thipadei returned from Malaysia, where he had participated in ceasefire talks with the Acting Prime Minister of Thailand.
President Trump underscored the importance of the agreement and confirmed that he has been closely monitoring the situation.
“I reiterate my gratitude to President Donald Trump for initiating and promoting the early ceasefire negotiations, as well as for the U.S.’s co-organisation of today’s special meeting in Malaysia, which was also attended by representative of the Chinese government,” said Samdech Thipadei.
President Trump noted that for the ceasefire to be fully and sustainably implemented, a clear mechanism must be established to monitor and oversee compliance by all relevant parties—an issue that was also agreed upon at the meeting.
In this regard, he confirmed the U.S.’s participation in the monitoring process and expressed its continued support for the mechanism coordinated by Malaysia to ensure successful implementation.
“The President views this mission as vital and is committed to seeing lasting peace between the two countries,” Samdech Thipadei affirmed.
In his message on social media platform, President Trump extended his congratulations to both Cambodia and Thailand for reaching a ceasefire agreement.
“By ending this war, we have saved thousands of lives,” he said. “I have instructed my Trade Team to restart negotiations on trade.”
After five days of armed clashes along the border, Cambodia and Thailand have agreed to implement an immediate and unconditional ceasefire beginning at midnight tonight.
