According to media reports, the meeting on Monday brought together Thailand's acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai and Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Manet in an effort to halt fighting that has killed at least 35 people and displaced over 270,000 from both sides.
Anwar described the outcome as a positive step toward peace, with the ceasefire set to take effect at midnight on July 28 (1200 GMT). He added that military commanders from both countries will meet Tuesday to discuss further de-escalation.
US and Chinese diplomats were present, with Anwar noting that leaders from both nations, including US President Donald Trump, played a role in supporting the peace process.
Hun Manet praised the talks, expressing hope that the ceasefire would help rebuild trust between the neighbors. Meanwhile, Phumtham affirmed Thailand's commitment to the agreement, despite earlier doubts about Cambodia's intentions.
Recent clashes included rocket fire by Cambodia into Thailand's Sisaket province, and accusations from both sides of troop buildups and attacks near contested temple sites.
Cambodia's defense spokesperson accused Thai forces of using heavy weapons and smoke bombs in the disputed areas but said Cambodian troops successfully repelled the assaults.
