JEDDAH: Malaysia is ready to cooperate and even improve ties with Afghanistan, a country under Taliban administration, that the United Nations early this month described as the most repressive country in the world for women’s and girls’ rights.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said Malaysia’s position had been conveyed to the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation , which is ready to assist in terms of Malaysia’s relationship with the Afghan government.
"The problem now is their attitude towards women’s education, whether they want to build a university specifically for women or a special women’s school, it’s their choice, but they cannot deny women’s right to education,” he told a media conference. Anwar, who is accompanied by his wife Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Zambry Abdul Kadir and Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil, arrived at the King Abdulaziz International Airport at 6.40am local time Wednesday to start his three-day official visit to the kingdom.
