Malaysia is willing to send its peacekeeping forces to Gaza, Palestine, along with Indonesian forces. 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 about 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 discussion with Prabowo, expressing gratitude for the smooth operation carried out by the newly elected Indonesian President recently.
He also said he prayed that during the recovery period, Prabowo would receive good and intensive care and quick recovery in order to resume his responsibilities soon.
Anwar said they exchanged views on current issues, especially Prabowo’s role in representing Indonesia on the international stage lately and bringing vision, collaboration, and regional and universal peace.
“I welcome the idea of international peacekeeping cooperation between Malaysia and Indonesia, and this cooperation can be expanded to the ASEAN regional level,” Anwar said.
At the end of the discussion, he expressed hope that the upcoming Indonesian elections, which will conclude with the Regional Head Elections (Pilkada) on November 27, 2024, will proceed smoothly and be facilitated.
Additionally, Anwar also expressed hope that all preparations for Prabowo’s inauguration as President of Indonesia on October 20, 2024, would proceed smoothly.
