Cambodia–Thailand Joint Declaration Signed in Kuala Lumpur

Cambodia and Thailand agreed Sunday to advance a resolution of their border hostilities, with President Trump claiming credit as mediator. He and Malaysia’s prime minister, Anwar Ibrahim, helped broker a July cease-fire after a five-day clash, and they witnessed Prime Minister Hun Manet and Thai counterpart Anutin Charnvirakul sign a Kuala Lumpur agreement. The text, a joint declaration rather than a peace deal, commits both sides to pull heavy weapons under ASEAN monitoring and includes Thailand’s repatriation of 18 prisoners of war. Obstacles remain: an undefined border and nationalist sentiment. Thailand says the talks were bilateral despite U.S. facilitation.
