President Donald Trump pledges to sort out Pakistan-Afghanistan conflict

Kuala lumpur: US President Donald Trump on Sunday said he would "quickly resolve" the Pakistan-Afghanistan conflict.

Speaking in Kuala Lumpur where he landed to attend ASEAN summit, he announced that Malaysia would supervise a peace agreement between Thailand and Cambodia, a deal he said could help save hundreds of thousands of lives.

President Trump reiterated his respect for Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, describing them as 'great personalities.' He said Saudi Arabia played a significant role in facilitating the ceasefire between Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Trump said he was committed to promoting global peace, stating that he preferred ending wars through dialogue and trade rather than engaging in conflict. Trump claimed to have helped stop eight wars so far, crediting diplomacy and economic cooperation for his approach.

The US president also extended condolences over the passing of the Queen of Thailand. Malaysian President Anwar Ibrahim thanked President Trump for his efforts toward promoting peace. He praised Washington's role in mediating the Gaza peace accord, describing it as a 'commendable step toward stability in the region.'

Before departing for Kuala Lumpur, President Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social that he was traveling to Malaysia to sign a 'tremendous peace agreement,' adding that he was proud to have initiated the process.
