Malaysian Prime Minister Calls Cambodian and Thai Leaders to Ease Border Tensions

Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said on the 10th that he had spoken with the leaders of Cambodia and Thailand to discuss the recent situation in the Cambodia-Thailand border area and explore ways to restore peace. Malaysia is willing to continue to support the dialogue between the two sides and promote the cooling down of the situation. Anwar said on social media that day that he had communicated with the leaders of Cambodia and Thailand on the 9th. Both sides showed an open attitude and the willingness to continue consultations, hoping to ease the tense situation through dialogue and avoid any misunderstandings that might lead to further escalation of the situation. Anwar said that Malaysia will continue to support peaceful dialogue, adhere to resolving disputes on the basis of international law, strengthen regional cooperation, and jointly safeguard regional stability and security. Since the 7th, fierce conflicts have broken out between Cambodia and Thailand in the border area, with intensive gunfire in many places. Both sides accused each other of "firing first." Less than two months ago, Cambodia and Thailand had just signed a joint peace statement. The Malaysian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement on the 8th, saying that the Malaysian government called on all parties to abide by the ceasefire agreement and take timely measures to ease the situation when conflicts occur. It believes that through continuous dialogue, constructive diplomatic measures, and respect for existing mechanisms, regional peace and stability can be maintained.
