Mohamad in Jeddah to attend OIC CFM extraordinary meeting

Malaysian Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan landed in Jeddah to take part in the unexpected gathering of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation's Council of Foreign Ministers. He touched down at King Abdulaziz International Airport at 5.45pm yesterday and was met by Malaysian Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Datuk Syed Bakri Syed Abdul Rahman.

The one-day meeting will see Mohamad preside over discussions on the most recent events related to Palestine, including the circumstances in Gaza and the West Bank, as well as the enlargement of unlawful Israeli settlements. Syed Bakri previously emphasized the significance of Malaysia's involvement, stating that the country's strong stance on Israel's actions and aggression towards Palestinian territories would be communicated.

He added that Mohamad would present a National Statement, reaffirming Malaysia's steadfast backing for the Palestinian people's legitimate struggle and their entitlement to a self-governing state based on the borders prior to 1967. In addition to addressing these pressing matters, Mohamad is anticipated to confer with his counterparts from several nations to deliberate on enhancing bilateral collaboration, encompassing the investigation of novel prospects in commerce, trade, and investment.
