Malaysia mediates as Thailand and Cambodia clash over disputed borders
Malaysia has stepped in to ease tensions between Thailand and Cambodia over a long-standing border dispute. Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim met with key leaders to encourage dialogue and find a peaceful resolution. Meanwhile, Vietnam’s leader pushed for faster progress on a regional energy project linking Southeast Asian nations.
The border conflict between Thailand and Cambodia has drawn in neighbouring countries. Malaysia, acting as a mediator, hosted discussions between the armed forces chiefs of both countries. Anwar Ibrahim stressed that Malaysia did not impose solutions but instead relied on the trust both countries placed in its role as a neutral partner.
Malaysia’s efforts have focused on bringing Thailand and Cambodia together for negotiations. The border dispute remains unresolved, but talks continue with Malaysia’s support. Meanwhile, Vietnam’s push for the ASEAN Power Grid signals a broader move toward regional energy cooperation.
