The United States affirmed its support for the Cambodia–Thailand ceasefire and said it would closely monitor implementation to help ensure it succeeds.
The United States stated its position at a meeting on 6 August 2025. Cambodia’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defence, General Tea Seiha, led a senior Royal Cambodian Armed Forces delegation to meet Admiral Samuel Paparo, commander of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM), and Edgard Kagan, the U.S. ambassador to Malaysia.
During the meeting, the United States reaffirmed support for the ceasefire initiated by U.S. President Donald Trump. Malaysia, the rotating chair of ASEAN, was leading its implementation.
Paparo and Kagan also stressed that the United States would monitor implementation closely to ensure it proceeds successfully and effectively. The United States would provide key logistical and technical support to set up the ASEAN Monitoring Team (AMT) as quickly as possible.
The United States also outlined its follow-up efforts, including military planning, equipment, force deployment systems, aerial surveillance systems and other advanced technical equipment. These efforts reflected its commitment and readiness to help achieve peace.
