00:00Well this is so exciting because we did something that a lot of people said couldn't be done

00:05and we saved maybe millions of lives on this one piece deal. The third that helped so much

00:13I appreciate so much. Maybe it couldn't have been done without you. Well this is so exciting

00:19because we did something that a lot of people said couldn't be done and we saved maybe millions

00:26of lives on this one piece deal itself and and I'll tell you what makes me so happy is

00:33the two countries we're dealing with and the third that helped so much I appreciate so much

00:39maybe it couldn't have been done without you but they really like each other. I'm not used to that

00:46when I do these deals usually there's a lot of hatred they liked each other so it made it a little

00:50bit easier but millions of people are alive today because of this peace treaty. So before I begin

00:57I want to extend our deepest condolences to the Prime Minister Ah Newton as well as his majesty the

01:06king of Thailand and the entire nation on the passing of her majesty Queen Sirikhet the queen mother

01:16and a beautiful incredible woman who is so respected all over all over all over the world

01:22actually respected. I know the people of Thailand will remember her forever as the embodiment of

01:29dignity kindness and grace this just happened but this is a woman who is so loved and respected.

01:36Today we honor the memory by bringing the blessing of peace to the nation she dearly loved. She loved

01:45this nation like few people love their nations. This is a momentous day for all of the people of

01:52Southeast Asia as we sign a historic agreement to end the military conflict between Cambodia and

01:59Thailand. Earlier this year an armed clash broke out along the border of these two countries

02:05really ancient countries by most standards. They've been long time tremendous cultures resulting in

02:15numerous deaths and thousands thousands and thousands of people displaced from their homes. It was starting

02:22because of America's strong commitment to stability and peace in this region and every region where we

02:27can do it. My administration immediately began working to prevent the conflict from escalating. I held phone calls

02:36with both leaders. I was actually at Turnberry in Scotland when I did this and we had a lot of phone calls to

02:44the three of us and then the four of us. We had a lot of phone calls. It was a beautiful day. I remember how

02:52beautiful it was. Turnberry is a great place. But I said this is much more important than playing around the golf.

02:59So we sat there all day long making phone calls and it was amazing the way it came together very quickly.

03:04I mean really very quickly. You caused me very good entertainment. I could have had a lot of fun but

03:10this is much more fun for me than anything having to do with almost anything because you're saving people and

03:16saving countries. But asked them to choose the path of prosperity and peace over needless bloodshed and war.

03:25At the end of July after extremely productive discussions we reached a ceasefire agreement

03:30and now these gentlemen and they really are gentlemen high quality people

03:34both went to college in the United States and now these gentlemen are about to sign what

03:42we're calling the Kuala Lumpur Peace Accords. Good name. Both countries are agreeing to

03:50cease all hostilities and work to build good neighborly relationships which have already started.

03:57Eighteen Cambodian prisoners of war will be released and under this agreement observers from ASEAN

04:05countries including Malaysia will be deployed to make sure that the peace prevails and endures. I have no doubt that it will.
