Earlier today, US President Donald Trump co-signed a ceasefire agreement between Thailand and Cambodia in Malaysia, the first stop on his Asia tour, which will culminate in talks with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
The deal was signed by Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet together with Trump and Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, following a bloody border dispute this year.
The agreement will see the release of 18 Cambodian prisoners of war on humanitarian grounds, a press release from Cambodia’s foreign ministry said.
The two neighbours agreed to an initial ceasefire in late July — brokered in part by Trump — but both sides have since traded accusations of violations.
Heading to Malaysia, Trump called it a “Great Peace Deal… which I proudly brokered between Cambodia and Thailand.”
