Malaysia, Turkiye to increase humanitarian aid to Gaza

 

Malaysia and Turkiye agreed to increase humanitarian assistance, especially to Gaza, Palestine, said Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.

In his official Facebook posting last night, Anwar said the proposed decision was discussed with Turkiye President Recep Tayyip Erdogan via a telephone conversation yesterday.

“...in fact, President Erdogan also shared his experience and concerns as well as registered his protest against the genocide in Gaza during the G7 Summit which he attended in Italy recently,” he said in the posting.

During the tele-conversation, Erdogan also reiterated his commitment to strengthening cooperation in defence, economy, culture, trade and investment between both countries while Anwar once again invited the president to visit Malaysia in July or August.

The prime minister assured a meaningful visit since it would coincide with the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Malaysia and Turkiye (since June 17, 1964) and mark the 10th year of strategic cooperation.
