In an extraordinary display of spiritual diplomacy and international gratitude, 70,000 Cambodian Buddhist monks have rallied behind Prime Minister Hun Manet’s historic nomination of President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, marking one of the most significant religious endorsements in modern Southeast Asian politics.
The unprecedented support comes following Trump’s decisive diplomatic intervention that successfully ended a dangerous five-day border conflict between Cambodia and Thailand in July 2025, preventing what military analysts warned could have escalated into a devastating regional war.
