The deal, signed in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, follows a period of heightened tension along the border. Samdech Hun Sen credited the success to the strategic approach of Prime Minister Hun Manet, describing it as a policy of being “quiet, but not silent.”

International Support: The U.S. and ASEAN Roles In a move that highlights Cambodia’s growing international prestige, the peace deal was facilitated by the Prime Minister of Malaysia (as ASEAN Chair) and U.S. President Donald J. Trump. The presence of the United States as a witness to the signing underscores the global importance of a peaceful Southeast Asia.

“Maintaining peace—both domestically and with our neighbors—remains Cambodia’s top priority,” Samdech Hun Sen shared on his official platforms. He noted that this “early harvest” of diplomacy ensures that the two Kingdoms can return to a path of mutual economic growth rather than conflict.

Commitment to Implementation Prime Minister Hun Manet, who signed the Kuala Lumpur Joint Declaration alongside Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, reaffirmed Cambodia’s firm commitment to the agreement. The Prime Minister called on the international community to continue their support to ensure the peace endures and delivers tangible benefits to the people living along the border.

By resolving this conflict through high-level dialogue and international partnership, the Royal Government has demonstrated its ability to protect national sovereignty while fostering the stability required for 2026’s ambitious economic goals.
