(Phnom Penh, Cambodia: October, 16th, 2025): Amid ongoing wars and suffering across several parts of the world, one man who once promised to help end the Cambodia–Thailand war is now proving to the world that his promise was not mere rhetoric.
From October 26 to 28, 2025, the world will turn its attention to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where a historic event will unfold — the signing of the Kuala Lumpur Peace Agreement between Cambodia and Thailand.
On this momentous occasion, U.S. President Donald Trump, the man who pledged to help bring peace, will be present as a witness to reaffirm that his words are taking shape in reality — that a true peace agreement is possible through commitment and diplomacy.
The Kuala Lumpur Peace Agreement aims to formally end military operations and the systematic land-grabbing tactics carried out by the Thai side — known as Salami Slicing and Psychological Warfare — following the historic July 28, 2025 ceasefire agreement, which was itself an initiative of President Trump. His consistent efforts to end the Cambodia–Thailand conflict reflect his broader peace policy vision for the world.
According to H.E. Mohamad Hasan, Malaysia’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, the upcoming peace agreement will require both sides to clear mines and withdraw heavy weapons from the border area to ensure a lasting ceasefire and establish a genuine peace zone.
However, to ensure that this peace process becomes a long-term reality, analysts have suggested that the Kuala Lumpur Agreement should also include key provisions such as: the establishment of buffer zones, monitoring by international observers, legal dispute resolution mechanisms, stronger border cooperation, and long-term joint development initiatives.
If implemented sincerely by both parties, the Kuala Lumpur Peace Agreement will become an important milestone in history, bringing great credit to President Donald Trump. The world will see that his valuable promise was not made for political gain but out of conviction — a belief that diplomacy can achieve what warfare cannot. The upcoming agreement will not only ensure political stability and security within ASEAN but will also contribute to strengthening global peace.
While both national and international public opinion largely supports this peace initiative, some extremist groups have attempted to spread misinformation and false accusations to undermine the process. They claim that if Cambodia signs a peace agreement with Thailand, it will “lose territory,” or allege that “the Cambodian government is trading sovereignty to maintain power.”
Such claims are baseless and reveal malicious intent to incite division and provoke confrontation between the two neighboring nations for political advantage. These extremist narratives are not expressions of patriotism but deliberate attempts to destroy peace, damage friendship, and sabotage the invaluable peace initiative led by President Donald Trump, whose vision is to reconcile Cambodia and Thailand and restore cooperation between the two ASEAN members.
As members of the ASEAN community, both Cambodia and Thailand must uphold the principles of peaceful coexistence, mutual respect for sovereignty, and shared regional interests, turning this peace effort into a tangible reality for their people.
The planned signing of the Kuala Lumpur Peace Agreement in Malaysia during the fourth week of October highlights ASEAN’s proactive and responsible role in preventing conflicts among its members and promoting regional peace.
Malaysian Foreign Minister Mohamad Hasan described the accord as a major victory for “diplomacy over militarization”, demonstrating that peace can be achieved through dialogue, not through arms.
If the agreement, witnessed by President Donald Trump, is successfully implemented, it will serve as a powerful model for conflict resolution not only within ASEAN but across the world. As part of Trump’s broader legacy of peace diplomacy, this accord will reaffirm that — from the Middle East to Southeast Asia — ending wars through dialogue is a strategy that truly works and will forever mark Donald Trump as a leader who brought peace to the world.
In Conclusion:
The Kuala Lumpur Peace Agreement is more than just an accord to end the Cambodia–Thailand war; it is a symbol of political victory for peace, demonstrating the power of dialogue, respect for sovereignty, and cooperation among ASEAN nations.
It shows that peace does not arise from weakness or surrender, but from courage — the courage to believe in the values of humanity, patience, respect, and love for one’s nation and region.
For President Donald Trump, this agreement will stand as one of the defining achievements of his peace legacy, extending from the Middle East to Southeast Asia. It affirms that his philosophy of “peace through strength” has not only helped restore stability between Cambodia and Thailand but has also opened new doors toward global reconciliation.
Today, Cambodia and Thailand stand at a critical moment in history, where even small actions can shape the future of the entire region. If both sides maintain the ceasefire, honor their commitments, and learn from the lessons of the past with sincerity, peace will no longer be a distant dream — it will become a living reality, one that future generations can inherit and preserve.
Thus, the Kuala Lumpur Peace Agreement will remain a lasting symbol of trust and unity among all who believe that peace has the power to heal the wounds of the past, transform them into friendship, and build a strong foundation for a shared future among nations.
At the same time, the peoples of Cambodia and Thailand will not forget the crucial role of President Donald Trump, whose bold leadership helped make this genuine peace possible — a historic achievement proving that his promise has truly transformed war into peace and made his name a universal symbol of global peace.
