Thai PM Cancels Asean Trip After Royal Death
Thailand's Prime Minister may miss the signing of a ceasefire deal with Cambodia, which US President Donald Trump is set to witness.
Foreign ministers of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations met on Saturday to start a weekend of global diplomacy in Kuala Lumpur, with trade talks between the US and China alongside the summit.
Trump is due to arrive in Kuala Lumpur on Sunday, to witness the signing of a broader ceasefire deal between Cambodia and Thailand, after helping to broker an end to a deadly five-day border conflict in July.
A Thai government spokesperson said there would be a discussion on how to proceed with the ceasefire ceremony and whether another official would sign the agreement after Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul cancelled his trip.
