Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan has warned that the escalating conflict in West Asia could lead to higher food, fuel and living expenses for families worldwide. The Malaysia Foreign Minister stated that the conflict threatens major energy and trade routes, making its consequences a global issue rather than confined to the countries directly involved.
He emphasized that the effects of the conflict do not stop within the region, and families in Southeast Asia, for instance, still bear the consequences when prices rise. Hasan urged all parties to avoid actions that could further heighten tensions, stressing that diplomacy and dialogue are essential to preventing wider economic disruption.
He also highlighted that most countries at the UN are not major powers, but decisions made by a few could shape the future of the international community. As a middle power, Malaysia can help maintain dialogue when major powers fail to reach an agreement, and regional organizations like ASEAN can bring the perspectives of their people into global discussions.
