Trump 'looking forward' to Thailand-Cambodia ceasefire deal at ASEAN summit - Malaysia

11 Sept 05:01 Key points summarised by AI

US President Donald Trump is expected to attend the ASEAN summit in Malaysia and anticipates witnessing a ceasefire deal between Thailand and Cambodia.
The proposed 'Kuala Lumpur Accord' aims to establish lasting peace and end the deadly border conflict that erupted in July, which killed at least 48 people.
Malaysia, with U.S. facilitation, is brokering a broader ceasefire agreement that will require both nations to remove all mines and heavy artillery from their borders.
The summit will also host the East Asia Summit, where a chairman's statement will be issued instead of a joint statement due to a U.S. objection to the word "inclusivity".

Lamphun illuminates its ancient city with two concurrent light festivals: the high-tech VIJIT Thailand @ LAMPHUN and the traditional Hundred Thousand Lantern Festival.
VIJIT Thailand @ LAMPHUN transforms historic landmarks into an outdoor gallery, using projections and multimedia to animate Lamphun's history, including Queen Chamadevi's story.
The Hundred Thousand Lantern Festival, part of Yi Peng, fills temples and streets with countless traditional lanterns, symbolizing Buddhist devotion and personal wishes.
These festivals offer a unique after-dark experience, blending contemporary light art with centuries-old Lanna traditions, connecting visitors to Lamphun's past and faith.
