Thai PM adjusts Asean schedule after death of Queen Motherpublished at 03:20 GMT
Thailand’s prime minister landed in Kuala Lumpur late on Saturday night, after delaying his departure to the summit following the death of Thailand’s former Queen Sirikit.
Upon landing, Anutin Charnvirakul told Thai media that in his five-minute meeting with President Trump, he plans to sign a trade agreement, as well as discussing tariffs and security issues, including scammers.
He also intends to invite the president for a state visit to Thailand.
The prime minister also spoke to the signing of a “peace agreement” between Thailand and Cambodia; he said that conditions have been agreed on both sides, but Cambodia will need to fulfil a set of pre-conditions requested by Thailand first.
The set of four requests include: the removal of heavy weapons, the extraction of land mines along their shared border, a resolution to disputed land area and the suppression of scamming centres out of Cambodia.
He added that once both sides are confident conditions are being followed, Thailand will return 18 prisoners of war, and continue to work with Cambodia to lessen hostilities between the two nations.
