PUTRAJAYA: Securing peace in Myanmar and addressing the refugee crisis remain key priorities for Malaysia, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said.
He emphasised the need for immediate humanitarian aid for refugees and victims of natural disasters like earthquakes.
Anwar stressed that resolving Myanmar’s crisis must stay central to regional cooperation efforts.
“I commend the Bangladeshi authorities for taking the initiative in multilateral forums in New York, Qatar and here in Malaysia,“ he said.
Malaysia’s Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan will lead a team with Indonesia, the Philippines, and Thailand to visit Myanmar soon.
The visit aims to ensure peace and address atrocities against ethnic minorities and Myanmar’s people through diplomatic solutions.
Anwar spoke during a press conference marking the three-day official visit of Bangladesh’s Chief Adviser, Prof Dr. Muhammad Yunus. – Bernama
