KUALA LUMPUR – Malaysia and Turkiye agreed to increase humanitarian assistance, especially to Gaza, Palestine, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
In a Facebook post last night, Anwar said the proposed decision was discussed with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan via 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 post.
During the tele-conversation, the president also reiterated his commitment to strengthening cooperation in defence, economy, culture, trade and investment between both countries, while Anwar once again forwarded an invitation for President Erdogan to visit Malaysia in the month of July or August.
The prime minister assured that the visit would be meaningful since it would coincide with the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Malaysia and Turkiye (since June 17, 1964), as well as mark the 10th year of strategic cooperation between both countries. – June 18, 2024
