President Donald Trump landed in Malaysia early Sunday local time, in what is the first part of his trip to Asia that will see him attend the Association of Southeast Asian Nations leaders summit.
Trump touched down in Kuala Lumpur, the capital, at 10 a.m., where he was met on the tarmac by Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. He was also greeted with scores of spectators waving Malaysian flags, as well as traditional dancers from the Asian country, with the U.S. president showing his own iconic dance.

He is now headed to the Kuala Lumpur Convention Center, where there will be a peace signing ceremony ending the conflict between Thailand and Cambodia that erupted over the summer.

Trump had earlier said he would be signing that peace deal “immediately” upon landing in Kuala Lumpur.
According to his schedule, Trump will also participate in a bilateral meeting with Anwar as well as an unspecific signing with the Malaysian prime minister, which could be a trade deal. He will later attend a dinner with ASEAN leaders.
