"We applaud the ceasefire declaration mediated by Malaysia on July 28, 2025. We are grateful to Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim for his leadership and for hosting the ceasefire talks.

We heartfelt appreciate President Donald Trump for co-organising the meeting with the active participation of China. We express deepest gratitude to all international friends for supporting the ceasefire, which save lives and livelihoods of the people of the two nations.

I would like to call upon international friends and partners to closely monitor the implementation of the ceasefire, ensuring all parties honor their commitments to completely end the conflict.

To prevent the breach of the ceasefire, it is urgent to deploy international observers and inspection team. Please hold accountable those who violate the ceasefire. Fairness and justice are critical."
