US President Donald J. Trump has reaffirmed his commitment to ensuring stability along the Cambodia–Thailand border, pledging during a phone call with Prime Minister Hun Manet on Thursday night that he will continue to monitor the situation closely to help prevent any renewed armed clashes.
According to Mr Hun Manet’s statement, President Trump delivered a clear and firm message during their conversation: he wants to see lasting peace preserved between the two neighbouring countries and is prepared to stay engaged to support that goal.
President Trump “emphasized his clear position that he wishes to see lasting peace between Cambodia and Thailand,” the statement said. He assured the Cambodian leader that the United States would continue to follow developments “with care” to ensure the ceasefire holds and that no new violence erupts along the border.
During the call, Mr Hun Manet thanked President Trump for his previous role in helping secure the ceasefire and in facilitating the Kuala Lumpur Joint Declaration, which set out a framework for long-term peace between Cambodia and Thailand. He also reaffirmed Cambodia’s commitment to fully upholding the declaration and to working with Thailand through agreed principles and bilateral mechanisms.
But the centre of the discussion was President Trump’s renewed pledge to remain actively involved in supporting stability.
The Prime Minister said Trump’s assurance reflects Washington’s continued interest in preserving regional peace and preventing further escalation following recent incidents along the border.
Cambodia, he added, will continue to seek peaceful solutions to all border issues in line with established agreements, as both countries work to maintain lasting peace.
