Wisma Putra: Malaysia’s international profile on the rise, one year on
KUALA LUMPUR, May 9 — As Malaysians marked the first anniversary of the historic victory which brought Pakatan Harapan to rule today, the PH-led government has successfully managed to raise Malaysia’s prestige and profile in the international arena.
The decision was important as Malaysia has reaffirmed its strong commitment to its non-interference policy, neutrality and non-alignment policy, and that Malaysian troops will only be sent for international mission through a request by the United Nations. His visit to the Phillipines was seen as providing momentum to the referendum on the Bangsamoro Organic Law that was held on Jan 12 and Feb 6 and that Malaysia, as the facilitator of the peace process, is committed to the Mindanao Peace Process because Asean’s prosperity depends on its regional stability.
Malaysia has also managed to overcome bilateral issues with China and Singapore during the past year. Dr Mahathir’s visit to Japan, an important trading partner, was also a boost to bilateral economic ties, as well as to Dr Mahathir’’s Look East Policy. Dr Mahathir had said that Malaysia will continue the Look East Policy and further enhance it.
In the past year, there were several high-profile visits by foreign leaders and dignitaries to Malaysia, reflecting the new environment of bilateral ties between Malaysia and the rest of the world. In Senegal, for the third International Conference on the Emergence of Africa in January, Dr Mahathir, 93, had the distinction of being the only Asian head of government invited to take part in the conference.
