Trump's historic peace: Thailand and Cambodia sign treaty!
Thailand's political landscape is being overshadowed by a profound event. On Sunday, October 29, US President Donald Trump will attend the signing ceremony of a peace agreement between Thailand and Cambodia in Malaysia. This ceremony comes at a time when the country is deeply mourning the loss of Queen Mother Sirikit, who recently passed away at the age of 93. Firstpost reports that Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has asked for an early signing to reflect the circumstances of the mourning.
The death of Queen Sirikit is perceived as a great loss by the Thai population. Prime Minister Anutin has postponed his departure for an upcoming ASEAN summit in Malaysia due to this painful event, but is still planning his trip to the treaty signing event. In a post on Truth Social, Trump expressed his condolences and support for Thailand during this difficult time. Mathrubhumi reminds that the royal family in Thailand is highly revered and viewed as semi-divine figures.
Peace agreement as a turning point
The signing of the peace agreement comes at a time when tensions between Thailand and Cambodia have reached their peak. In July, disputes at the border turned into violent clashes that left over 40 people dead and forced around 300,000 people to flee. The agreement aims to defuse these tensions and create new mechanisms for the demilitarization of the border and the return of civilians.
Trump's role as mediator has already proven crucial. A fragile ceasefire was reached after several days of fighting, but both sides continue to accuse each other of violating it. daily news highlights that in addition to Trump, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio will be present to support the peace negotiations in Malaysia.
sadness and hope
Amid all the pain of the loss of Queen Sirikit, there are also signs of hope. The promise of peace is seen by many as an opportunity to end the decades-long conflicts and disputes that have raged particularly around the Preah Vihear area. This area has been a point of contention between both nations since the United Nations International Court of Justice ruled in 2013.
As the Thai nation shrouds itself in mourning, the impending signing of the treaty is met with a flourish of anticipation. The Thai people are excited and hope that this step can finally bring back the peace and stability that has been so often disrupted in recent years.
