Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia and US pledge full implementation of KL Peace Accord, focusing on demining without trade cooperation involvement
KUALA LUMPUR: Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia and the United States have reaffirmed their commitment to ensuring full implementation of the Kuala Lumpur Peace Accord.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim confirmed the commitment excludes any form of trade cooperation.
He said the pledge was conveyed during his conversation with US President Donald Trump, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet and Thailand Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul.
“We also concurred that meaningful progress must be made on the issue of demining, without involving any form of trade cooperation,” Anwar stated in a Facebook post.
He reiterated appreciation for Trump’s personal and active commitment to resolving the border issue between the two neighbouring countries.
International media reported Monday that the Thai Armed Forces Chief suspended all agreements with Cambodia following a landmine explosion along the border.
The incident heightened tensions after clashes in July.
Four Thai soldiers were reportedly injured when a PMN-2 landmine exploded during a patrol in Sisaket province.
One soldier lost his right leg in the explosion.
The Kuala Lumpur Peace Accord was signed by Anutin and Hun Manet last month.
The signing was witnessed by Anwar and Trump on the sidelines of the 47th ASEAN Summit. – Bernama
