Trump Arrives in Malaysia for First ASEAN Summit in Eight Years
SEPANG, Oct 26 — United States President Donald Trump has arrived in Malaysia to attend the 47th ASEAN Summit and a series of high-level meetings aimed at strengthening regional cooperation.
Trump’s aircraft, Air Force One, landed at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) at 9:53 a.m., where he was warmly received by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and senior Malaysian officials. Upon his arrival, Trump appeared in high spirits, even joining a brief cultural dance performance and waving both the U.S. and Malaysian national flags to the crowd.
First ASEAN Visit Since 2017
This trip marks Trump’s first ASEAN Summit appearance in eight years, following his last attendance in 2017. It is also his first official visit to Asia since beginning his second term. The last U.S. president to participate in the regional meeting was Barack Obama in 2016, highlighting the renewed American engagement with Southeast Asia.
Key Agendas and Bilateral Meetings
During his stay in Kuala Lumpur, Trump is scheduled to hold bilateral discussions with Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to enhance U.S.–Malaysia relations and explore new areas of economic and security cooperation. He will also attend a working luncheon with Southeast Asian leaders, focusing on trade, climate action, and regional stability.
As Malaysia chairs ASEAN 2025, the summit’s theme — “Inclusivity and Sustainability” — underscores the region’s commitment to equitable growth and long-term peace.
Peace Declaration Between Thailand and Cambodia
The White House said President Trump will witness the signing of a peace declaration between Thailand and Cambodia. The U.S. leader claims to have helped mediate the deal after a deadly border clash earlier this year. The agreement aims to promote lasting peace and stability in the Indochina region.
Next Stops: Japan and South Korea
After his meetings in Malaysia, Trump will leave on Monday morning for a one-day visit to Japan. He will then continue his Asia tour in South Korea to attend the APEC Summit. Trump’s return to the ASEAN stage shows a renewed U.S. focus on Asia-Pacific diplomacy. It also strengthens Washington’s ties with regional allies amid changing global dynamics.
