Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday refuted his US counterpart Donald Trump’s claims at their summit meeting in Busan that China was not involved in establishing peace between Cambodia and Thailand.
At the much-publicised summit, Xi said that he appreciated Trump’s “great contribution to the recent conclusion of the Gaza ceasefire agreement”.
However, Xi rebutted Trump’s assertion that China was not involved in establishing peace between Cambodia and Thailand.
Xi told Trump that Beijing had been helping the two Southeast Asian neighbours to settle their border dispute in our own way, the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post reported.
Xi’s assertion outlines Beijing’s redlines as China too seeks to play a dominant role in Southeast Asia, where it has established strong security and trade links with countries of the region, including Thailand and Cambodia.
