Thai PM to sign Cambodia ceasefire deal, skips summits over royal death
- On Oct 26, Anutin Charnvirakul will travel to Kuala Lumpur to sign a ceasefire agreement with Cambodia, witnessed by President Donald Trump, U.S. President.
- A five-day border conflict in July left dozens dead and displaced about 300,000 people, prompting negotiations at the Joint Boundary Commission and Thai-Cambodia General Border Committee and talks among the Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Ministry of the Interior.
- Queen Mother Sirikit died on Oct 24 at age 93, prompting Anutin to request moving the signing to Sunday morning to attend the royal funeral and oversee state funeral arrangements.
- With U.S. involvement, the deal serves both security and diplomatic roles, as U.S. officials pressed for the Declaration on Thai-Cambodia Relations to ensure Thai national security and sovereignty, while Trump claimed he brokered the truce using trade leverage.
- The declaration is set for 2:30pm Malaysian time on Oct 26; Anutin will skip next week's Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit in South Korea and Foreign Minister Sihasak Phuangketkeow may sign if needed.
