PUTRAJAYA, Aug 11 — Malaysia welcomed the joint statement by the leaders of the United States (US), Egypt, and Qatar on Thursday (August 8), underscoring the urgency for the conclusion of a ceasefire deal and bringing immediate relief to the people of Gaza.
The Foreign Ministry (Wisma Putra), in emphasising Malaysia’s support on the ongoing peace negotiations mediated by the US, Egypt, and Qatar, hoped that the forthcoming discussion to be held on Aug 15 will bear positive results and prevent further escalation of the conflict and achieve a peaceful resolution.
“Malaysia urges all parties to stay focused, committed and respect the peace process,” it said in a statement today.
As a matter of principle, Malaysia has always advocated for peace and stability, and adherence to international law.
“We once again demand the killings and atrocities to stop, for an immediate and permanent ceasefire to be in place, humanitarian aid to flow unimpeded into Gaza, and Palestine to be accepted as a full member of the United Nations,” Wisma Putra said.
It reiterated that Malaysia’s resolute support and solidarity with the Palestinians remain unwavering, including towards their right to self-determination, and the establishment of an independent and sovereign state, based on the pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
