WASHINGTON, D.C. December 27, 2025 – Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued a statement on Saturday welcoming the announcement of a ceasefire between Cambodia and Thailand, following a meeting of the General Border Committee.
In a post on X from his official account, Rubio stated: “The United States welcomes the announcement from Cambodia and Thailand on reaching a ceasefire following the General Border Committee meeting. We urge both countries to immediately honor this commitment and fully implement the terms of the Kuala Lumpur Peace Accords.”
The statement comes amid ongoing tensions along the shared border between the two Southeast Asian nations, where disputes have periodically flared in recent years. The Kuala Lumpur Peace Accords refer to previous agreements aimed at resolving border issues peacefully.
The announcement underscores the Trump administration’s focus on promoting stability in the Indo-Pacific region. Supporters viewed the U.S. response as a positive diplomatic engagement, while some online commentary linked it to broader discussions on American foreign policy commitments.
No immediate details were provided on specific terms of the new ceasefire or verification mechanisms. The development follows heightened diplomatic activity in the region, with the U.S. encouraging adherence to existing frameworks for peace.
