US welcomes GBC meeting as a constructive first step for Cambodia-Thailand peace

State Department Deputy Spokesperson Tommy Pigott said, “The United States welcomes the General Border Committee meeting in Kuala Lumpur yesterday, as a constructive first step forward in the Cambodia-Thailand ceasefire arrangement.

President Donald Trump and Secretary Rubio called on both governments to fully honour their commitments and pursue enduring peace.”

The United States also thanked Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim for his leadership and hosting of the ceasefire talks, which were a direct result of his willingness to work with the United States to convene a special meeting on July 28 to resolve the conflict between the two countries, the deputy spokesman said.

Pigott added that the United States will continue to support Malaysia and ASEAN, including Cambodia and Thailand, as the ceasefire process moves forward.
