Responding
to criticism from Thailand, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim
firmly rejected accusations of interfering in the Thailand–Cambodia
border dispute during the G20 Summit. He emphasized that Malaysia has
maintained a strictly neutral role, focused solely on facilitating
dialogue between the two nations.
Anwar’s
remarks in South Africa, came shortly after protesters gathered outside
the Malaysian Embassy in Bangkok over the weekend, accusing him of
overstepping his previous role as ASEAN Chair and meddling in Thailand’s
efforts to safeguard its sovereignty. Demonstrators waved Thai flags
and held banners along Sathon Road before marching toward the U.S.
Embassy in Pathum Wan, prompting officials to issue a security advisory.
On
Cambodia’s side, the government has expressed deep gratitude to both
Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and U.S. President Donald Trump
for their roles in helping secure the peace along the border. Cambodian
officials praised their leadership for preventing further loss of life
and destruction along the border. Cambodia has even nominated President
Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of his
contribution to facilitating the ceasefire.
