United States President Donald Trump on Sunday once again lauded Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir by terming them “great people”, and he vowed to resolve the conflict between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Trump said, “We’re averaging one a month. There is only one left, although I heard that Pakistan and Afghanistan have started up. But I’ll get that solved very quickly. I know them both. And the Pakistan Field Marshal and the Prime Minister are great people, and I have no doubt we’re going to get that done quickly.”
The President further said, “I can’t think of any President that ever solved one war. I don’t think anybody. They start wars, they don’t solve them.”
Earlier, Thailand and Cambodia, signed a joint declaration on a peace deal in the presence of US President Donald Trump and Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, marking a formal step toward halting hostilities and restoring peace along their disputed border.
The agreement dubbed “KL PEACE Accord” was signed by Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and his Cambodian counterpart, Hun Manet, on the sidelines of the 47th ASEAN Summit in Kuala Lumpur, which began today under the chair of Malaysia.
President Trump said, “This is a momentous day for all of the people of Southeast Asia as we sign a historic agreement to end the military conflict between Cambodia and Thailand.”
He added, “Earlier this year, an armed clash broke out along the border of these two countries… because of America’s strong commitment to stability and peace in this region… my administration immediately began working to prevent the conflict from escalating.”
Highlighting economic cooperation, President Trump said, “Today, alongside this peace treaty, we are also signing a major trade deal with Cambodia, and a very important critical minerals agreement with Thailand.” He concluded, “On behalf of the United States, I’m proud to help settle this conflict, and forge a future for the region where proud independent nations can prosper, and thrive in safety, security, and peace.”
