00:00There is going to be an ASEAN Foreign Minister meeting on the 22nd on the next Monday.
00:14And could you explain a bit about the list of why you propose to go at the meeting
00:21and what your instruction is to the foreign minister and what do you expect from the committee?
00:31Thank you. I don't give instructions to the foreign minister, but you see we have no obligation to the committee,
00:38not to the committee, to the committee, to the committee, to the committee, to the committee,
00:46we have no obligations, we are appealing to them to immediately stop at this front line of that stage,
01:03and we post the immediate ceasefire. We don't like the ceasefire, because we are not there,
01:12so people look and I said, I urge the parties to observe these truths.
01:22And then following that, of course, President Trump's call in an updated meeting,
01:28and I told President Trump that it is important to come with them,
01:35prove them to stop the diplomacy. That's it.
01:40Then we will fix the meeting from the foreign ministers, then both the prime ministers have entered me,
01:46and said, please be too soon for a meeting before they are able to slow down the attention,
01:54and ease the attention. So, the proposition is going to be second, in Kuala Lumpur.
02:02So, from my understanding, the foreign ministers will come and deliver everything.
02:08So, they will know the facts. Our opportunity is to present facts.
02:12But more important is to impress on Thailand and Cambodia, that it is imperative to secure peace.
02:22And to seek the advice on Thailand and Cambodia,
02:28or what else do we need to do.
02:30They are really able team, as I said, as I said,
02:35the chief of the defence force, chief of the armed forces,
02:41who will be living for the border in the next few days.
02:47We want to continue to engage.
02:49So, in different levels, I speak to both the prime ministers and President Trump,
02:53the foreign ministers, the communique, and the labor,
02:57the team of armed forces, and the labor.
03:01So, we are continuing. I am, as you say, cautious of the opportunity,
03:08because when I speak to both the prime ministers,
03:12both are the key to achieve an equitable resolution as soon as possible.
03:21So, hopefully, by the 22nd, we can see this sort of understanding.
03:27But this is all I am and Cambodia to agree.
