KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Malaysia’s success in mediating the Cambodia-Thailand conflict underscored Asean's central role in settling regional disputes without external interference, Professor Dr Farish A. Noor said.
The Universitas Islam Internasional Indonesia scholar said both Cambodia and Thailand chose to resolve their dispute within the Asean framework rather than seeking mediation from major powers such as the United States or China, reflecting the bloc’s continuing relevance in preserving regional stability.
