00:15when left unresolved. As Chair Malaysia has worked on structurally to facilitate talks

00:21between the two countries, I would take note to recognize the support mandate of my friends

00:28Tuanku Sultan Brunei, Presidents, Prime Ministers in ASEAN who had continuously given the full support and endorsement

00:40and this is a remarkable feat. I'm able to do that with Dr. Muhammad Hassan and the Klik

00:46because of the solidarity, commitment, trust and friendship and brotherhood of all ASEAN leaders.

00:53Thank you again. Yes, we have broken the ceasefire and we had the United States of America

01:03with President Donald Trump and China supporting this endeavor and recognizing the role of the Chair

01:57that worked fast and effectively due to the support of everyone.

02:04Yesterday, we resolved the final agreement between both the Defence Ministers and Defence Ministries

02:14after three, four days of deliberations by the representatives, dealing with some very detailed technical question.

02:25And I must again express my profound gratitude and appreciation for their support.
