- Initially scheduled for Dec 16, the meeting was postponed because several leaders said it would have been too soon, while Putrajaya said it is communicating daily with ASEAN counterparts and expects foreign ministers to deliberate.
- Following talks with United States President Donald Trump, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim appealed for an immediate ceasefire and said he is cautiously optimistic after speaking to both prime ministers.
- Anwar said both sides accepted the ASEAN Observers Team and Malaysia's Chief of Defence Force will deploy to the border in the coming days, hoping to `seal this understanding` by Dec 22.
