Wan Azizah gave this commitment at a meeting with CFCM, which also sought help in the halal tourism industry.
Malaysia is prepared to assist the French Council of the Muslim Faith in several matters for the benefit of Muslims in France, including the imams and other Muslim elders, Deputy Prime Minister Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail said.
She gave the commitment in response to her meeting yesterday with CFCM vice-president Anouar Kbibech, who had also requested Malaysia’s assistance to boost France’s halal-tourism industry, which is handled by the French Muslim community. “Various matters were discussed for our mutual benefits, including how Malaysia can help the Muslims in France through CFCM, where one of them is for Malaysia to assist in introducing procedures and provide training for imams and other Muslim elders in France.
“I was informed that there are about 2,500 mosques in France and CFCM has expressed its willingness to send imams and other Muslim elders to Malaysia for the training,” Wan Azizah told Bernama and RTM in Paris today. CFCM is the official intermediary body of the French Muslim community with the French government in the regulation of Muslim religious activities in the country.To post or ‘like’ comments on Malaysiakini stories, you will need to sign in with an active paid subscription.
