• Trump to witness a peace agreement between Thailand and Cambodia at the ASEAN Summit.
• The agreement aims to resolve tensions that erupted in a deadly conflict in July.
• Malaysian Foreign Minister confirmed the signed declaration will be known as the Kuala Lumpur Accord.

US President Donald Trump is set to visit Malaysia on October 26 to witness the ceremonial signing of a peace agreement between Thailand and Cambodia during the ASEAN Summit, as confirmed by Malaysian Foreign Minister Mohamad Hasan. The signing is expected to culminate in a declaration known as the Kuala Lumpur Accord, aimed at ensuring a lasting ceasefire between the two countries, which recently experienced deadly tensions along their border, according to South China Morning Post, Channel News Asia, and Reuters.

The host nation, Malaysia, along with the United States, will facilitate the ceasefire, which necessitates both countries to withdraw heavy artillery and remove mines from their contested borders. The tensions erupted in July, resulting in the deadliest conflict between the nations for decades, and causing significant casualties and displacements, according to TRT Global and Al Jazeera.

Trump's presence at the summit demonstrates his personal involvement in diplomatic efforts, having previously communicated with the leaders of both nations to broker a ceasefire amidst escalating tensions. The Malaysian Foreign Minister expressed hopes that this agreement could signify a broader peace effort within the region, as reported by The Jakarta Post and Anadolu Agency.

In a bid to solidify diplomatic relations, Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Manet has nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, citing his role in fostering "innovative diplomacy" during the recent conflicts. The anticipated signing at the ASEAN summit represents a significant step toward restoring stability, following weeks of hostilities, according to Le Monde and India Times.
