ISTANBUL (AA) - Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said Monday that he conveyed his "deep appreciation" to US President Donald Trump for his "instrumental role” in advancing the Cambodia-Thailand peace accord and the Gaza plan, both of which are "beacons of hope for achieving a just and lasting peace.”

The brief meeting with Trump before his departure to Tokyo "provided an opportunity to review the outcomes of the Malaysia–United States bilateral discussions held earlier, including strategic cooperation in the fields of trade, technology and regional security," said Anwar on the US social media company Facebook’s platform.

During his time in Malaysia, which he visited for the 47th Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) summit, Trump witnessed the signing of the peace accord between Cambodia and Thailand, the Kuala Lumpur Peace Accord (KL Peace Accord), ending their deadly border dispute that escalated into clashes in July.

Trump departed Malaysia on Monday for Japan, the second stop of his three-country Asia tour.
