Malaysia is willing to send its peacekeeping forces to Gaza, Palestine, along with Indonesia. Malaysia’s willingness was conveyed after the Prime Minister (PM) spoke with Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto.
As reported by Antara on Monday (1/7/2024), Malaysia’s willingness was expressed by PM Anwar Ibrahim.
“Referring to the humanitarian situation in Palestine, I would like to inform you of Malaysia’s willingness to cooperate, including in the aspect of deploying peacekeeping forces together with Indonesia if mandated by the UN,” Anwar said on his social media account accessed in Kuala Lumpur on Monday.
Anwar said he had a three-minute conversation with Prabowo, expressing gratitude for the smooth operation carried out by the newly elected president of Indonesia recently.
He also said he prayed for Prabowo to receive good and intensive care during the recovery period, and for a speedy recovery so that he can quickly resume his assigned responsibilities.
Anwar said they exchanged views on current issues, especially Prabowo’s role in representing Indonesia on the international stage recently and bringing visions of collaboration, as well as regional and global peace.
“I welcome the idea of international peacekeeping cooperation between Malaysia and Indonesia, and this cooperation can be expanded to the ASEAN regional level,” said Anwar.
At the end of the conversation, he expressed hope that the Indonesian elections, which will conclude with the Regional Head Elections on November 27, 2024, will proceed smoothly and be facilitated.
Furthermore, Anwar also expressed hope that all preparations for Prabowo’s inauguration as President of Indonesia on October 20, 2024, will go smoothly.
