Malaysia’s Chief of Defence Forces, Tan Sri Dato' Seri Haji Malek Razak bin Sulaiman, expressed support for Cambodia’s position of resolving the border issue with Thailand peacefully and on the basis of international law.
He expressed this support during a meeting with Hun Sen, president of the Senate of the Kingdom of Cambodia.
During the meeting, Malek Razak bin Sulaiman paid his respects to Hun Sen and described him as a leader who had guided Cambodia’s transformation from a country affected by war into one of peace, stability and development.
He also praised Hun Sen’s experience and leadership in addressing various issues, including the Cambodia–Thailand border issue, and reaffirmed his full support for Cambodia’s position focused on a peaceful resolution.
In response, Hun Sen welcomed the Malaysian defence chief’s remarks and thanked Malaysia for its active participation in efforts to find a solution to the border issue between Cambodia and Thailand.
He highlighted in particular Malaysia’s role during its ASEAN chairmanship in advancing the process of resolving the issue and achieving significant results, which he regarded as a legacy of Malaysia’s chairmanship.
Hun Sen again shared information on the situation along the Cambodia–Thailand border and reaffirmed Cambodia’s position that border issues must be resolved peacefully, with respect for international law and through lawful mechanisms.
