PM Anwar confirms Malaysia’s commitment as fair mediator in Thailand-Cambodia border tensions, supporting the Kuala Lumpur Peace Accord
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia will continue serving as a fair and responsible facilitator in helping Thailand and Cambodia resolve their ongoing border dispute.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim confirmed Malaysia’s firm commitment to regional security, which he described as crucial for Southeast Asian stability.
Anwar revealed he had a telephone conversation with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet today to assess the latest border developments.
“I expressed our appreciation for Cambodia’s mature approach in choosing the path of peace and prioritising solutions through healthy negotiations and dialogue,” he posted on Facebook.
“Malaysia fully supports Cambodia’s commitment to using the agreed mechanisms and upholding the Kuala Lumpur Peace Accord dated Oct 26, 2025, as the basis to end this longstanding dispute.”
Anwar emphasised this principle is vital for managing differences calmly and systematically in line with regional understanding.
Hun Manet expressed sincere thanks to Anwar for Malaysia’s active role in facilitating peaceful solutions to the border dispute.
International media reported Monday that the Thai Armed Forces Chief suspended all agreements with Cambodia following a landmine explosion along their border.
Four Thai soldiers were reportedly injured when a PMN-2 type landmine exploded during a patrol in Sisaket province, with one soldier losing his right leg.
The Kuala Lumpur Peace Accord was signed by Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and Hun Manet, witnessed by Anwar and United States President Donald Trump, during the 47th ASEAN Summit last month. – Bernama
