Cambodia will nominate U.S. President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize following his role in ending a deadly five-day armed conflict with Thailand.
Cambodia’s Deputy Prime Minister Sun Chanthol on Friday praised U.S. President Donald Trump for helping to end a brief but intense conflict with neighbouring Thailand, announcing Phnom Penh’s plans to formally nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize.
"As Cambodian citizens, we deeply admire and sincerely thank the US president, the 'President of Peace.' We must formally propose that President Donald Trump be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize," Chanthol said, according to Cambodian outlet Fresh News.
Chanthol credited the ceasefire with saving thousands of lives.
Tensions along the Thai-Cambodian border escalated into cross-border airstrikes and rocket attacks earlier this month. At least 36 people were reportedly killed or wounded during the clashes, which lasted from 23 to 28 July.
The ceasefire agreement was reached following peace talks hosted by Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur on Monday. President Trump had spoken separately with the prime ministers of both Cambodia and Thailand ahead of the summit, urging a halt to hostilities and warning that the fighting could endanger their trade relationships with the United States.
After the ceasefire was reached, Trump followed up with both leaders to congratulate them on the outcome.
On Friday, diplomats from various countries were escorted to the damaged border areas, and both governments confirmed that further boundary negotiations will take place next week in Malaysia.
This is not the first time Trump has received a Nobel nomination from abroad. In June, Pakistan announced it would nominate him for his intervention in a ceasefire with India after a deadly exchange of missile fire in May. In July, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also said he would recommend him for the prestigious award.
