PUTRAJAYA, July 26 — Malaysia will continue engaging with the leaders of Cambodia and Thailand to propose a peace process in response to the border conflict between the two countries, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
He said Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet and Thailand’s acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai had expressed appreciation for his initiative to propose a peace process and a ceasefire.
“There is still some exchange of fire (along the Thailand-Cambodia border). So I have asked Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan to liaise with the respective foreign ministries and, if possible, I will continue engaging with them myself – at least to halt the fighting,” he said.
Anwar spoke to reporters after attending the 50th Prime Minister’s Cup Debate Finals here today.
Also present were Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek and Deputy Minister of Energy Transition and Water Transformation Akmal Nasrullah Mohd Nasir. — Bernama
