KUALA LUMPUR, April 11 — The international community should urgently insist on stopping the massacre and elimination of people in Gaza, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
He said the matter was discussed with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan during their phone call last night, when they discussed various regional and international issues, including the current situation in Palestine.
“I said the international community must urgently insist the massacre and elimination of the people of Gaza be stopped.
“Malaysia will continue to be committed to voicing the country’s firm stance on the plight of the Palestinian people on the world stage,” he said in a Facebook post today.
Anwar added that Erdogan also expressed the hope of intensifying the relationship between the two countries, especially in trade and defence.
In the phone call, the Prime Minister once again invited the Turkish President to visit Malaysia.
Anwar said the two leaders also exchanged Hari Raya Aidilfitri greetings, which Muslims in Malaysia celebrated yesterday.
