Malaysia reiterates solidarity with Palestine at 37th Asean summit

 


Malaysia remains in strong solidarity with the people of Palestine and supports concrete and honest efforts to find a just and lasting solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict based on international law and relevant United Nations resolutions through negotiations involving the parties concerned.

Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin, at the 37th Asean Summit plenary session today, said the only viable solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict is through the two-state solution – based on the pre-1967 borders – with East Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine.

Muhyiddin is leading the Malaysian delegation to attend the biannual summit virtually from Kuala Lumpur, which runs from today until this Sunday.

The summit is chaired by Vietnam Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc in his capacity as Asean Chair 2020 under the theme “Cohesive and Responsive Asean."

Muhyiddin also strongly condemned the actions by "irresponsible" individuals or groups "who cloak themselves in the name of religion to justify their heinous acts of terrorism".

Touching on freedom of speech, the prime minister said although essential to democracy, it is a tool that must be expressed responsibly, and should not be utilised to justify harm, stoke hatred, and propagate Islamophobia.

Also part of the Malaysian delegation to the 37th Asean Summit is Foreign Minister Hishammuddin Hussein as well as Senior Minister (Economy) and International Trade and Industry Minister Azmin Ali.

Asean, established in 1967, comprises Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.
