Washington, DC, July 28, 2025 (ANI): The United States on Monday welcomed the ceasefire agreement between Cambodia and Thailand, which was officially announced in Kuala Lumpur following high-level mediation efforts. The ceasefire was brokered by Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, the current chair of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). The breakthrough came after talks between Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet and Thailand's acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai, held at Ibrahim’s official residence near the Malaysian capital, as reported by CNN. Responding to the development, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio posted on social media platform X (formerly Twitter): “The United States applauds the ceasefire declaration between Cambodia and Thailand announced today in Kuala Lumpur. @POTUS and I remain committed to ending this conflict.” The US has been closely monitoring the situation amid regional concerns over rising tensions and border clashes in recent weeks. The ceasefire is seen as a significant diplomatic breakthrough aimed at restoring stability in the region. Further details about the implementation and monitoring of the ceasefire are expected to be released in coordination with ASEAN.
