Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim emphasized Malaysia's commitment to supporting the Palestinian cause, particularly in Gaza, despite economic considerations. He highlighted the country's diplomatic ties with the United States, noting a significant increase in bilateral trade between Malaysia and the US.
: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said economic considerations, although very important, will not constrain Malaysia’s stance in voicing the demands and justice of the Palestinian people, especially in Gaza.
He said Malaysia as an independent and sovereign country will continue to voice its stance on international issues including the oppression and tyranny in Gaza. Taking Malaysia’s relationship with the United States, the Prime Minister said that diplomatically it is still good and both countries continue all comprehensive partnerships and cooperation including meetings with the leaders of U.S.
“From January to October 2024, the total bilateral trade between Malaysia and the United States increased by 29.1 per cent to RM264.28 billion, a relatively high increase of US$57.76 billion from RM204.78 billion or US$45.09 billion for the same period in 2023,“ he said during the Minister’s Question Time session at the Dewan Rakyat today.
He was responding to a question from RSN Rayer on whether Malaysia faces any risk of trade sanctions from the United States due to the Prime Minister’s outspokenness in defending the rights of the Palestinian people and state.Heroic son uses water tank to save asthma-stricken mother amid Kelantan floods
