PRIME Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said he had contacted Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet and Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul to discuss the ongoing tensions along their shared border yesterday.
He said he appreciated the openness and willingness of the two leaders to continue negotiations to ease tensions and avoid any misunderstandings that could worsen the situation. "While a definitive resolution has yet to be reached, sustained diplomatic engagement has ensured that no more serious incidents occurred during these critical hours.
“Malaysia will continue to support peaceful dialogue, solutions based on international law, and regional cooperation to maintain the stability and security of our shared region,” he said in his latest statement on Facebook today.
To date, more than 500,000 people have fled their homes to safer areas in Thailand and Cambodia since the recent border conflict. – December 10, 2025
