As US President Donald Trump boarded Air Force One in Kuala Lumpur, it was at the end of a busy 24 hours that, by the White House's account, included a flurry of deals that brought "peace and prosperity" to the region.
The headlines will follow Trump as he flies to Japan and then South Korea, for a much-awaited meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
But getting him to the Asean Summit gave the grouping of South East Asian nations its biggest moment in the sun, at a time when many have been questioning its relevance.
For Trump the biggest draw was that he got to preside over a "peace deal" between Thailand and Cambodia whose long standing border dispute erupted into open conflict in July.
He wanted this in his ongoing quest to clinch a Nobel Peace Prize for resolving wars, although the Thais were reluctant to call it a "peace deal".
