Vietnam welcomes ceasefire agreement between Cambodia, Thailand
Vietnamese Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Bui Thanh Son welcomed the ceasefire agreement between Cambodia and Thailand on Monday.
Speaking at a reception here to mark the 30th anniversary of Vietnam’s membership in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), Son praised the consensus reached in Malaysia just hours earlier, particularly the decision to implement an immediate and unconditional ceasefire.
He said this is an extremely important first step toward easing tensions and restoring peace and security, adding that in today’s increasingly complex global environment, it is more critical than ever for ASEAN to enhance cooperation with its partners to promote dialogue, diplomacy, international law, and multilateralism.
Son said that maintaining a peaceful, secure, and stable regional environment is a prerequisite for sustainable development and the continued success of the ASEAN Community. Xinhua
