Mohamad: We'll keep speaking up for Palestine
Malaysia will utilise every platform available, including the United Nations, Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, Asean, Non-Aligned Movement, G20 and BRICS, to ensure that the voices of Palestinians continue to be heard on the global stage. Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan said this effort was crucial in strengthening Palestine's struggle for independence. 'Malaysia will continue to speak up, act and contribute within our capacity. We strongly condemn the Israeli Cabinet's recent decision to take full control of Gaza, which is a deliberate attempt at colonisation,' he told Dewan Rakyat yesterday. He said Malaysia had also strongly denounced the Zionist regime's agenda of expanding illegal settlements under the so-called 'Greater Israel' plan, including construction in the E1 area between Jerusalem and Ma'ale Adumim in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. 'These are unlawful acts that clearly violate international law and UN resolutions. They undermine Palestinian sovereignty and render the Two-State Solution impossible to achieve,' Mohamad said.

Key milestones of Malaysia as Asean Chair
Malaysia's chairmanship of Asean this year has delivered key milestones that reinforce the bloc's role as a credible and principled platform in navigating regional challenges, says Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan. The Foreign Minister said the upcoming Asean Summit in October, alongside the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) Summit, would further elevate Malaysia's profile as a respected hub for diplomacy and dialogue. 'With only four months left before the end of our chairmanship, Malaysia remains committed to sustaining this positive momentum, particularly in ensuring the success of the 47th Asean Summit and related meetings,' he told Dewan Rakyat yesterday. Mohamad said Malaysia's achievements as chair included the launch of the Asean Community Vision 2045, the signing of the Kuala Lumpur Declaration and the historic admission of Timor-Leste as the bloc's 11th member. Under Malaysia's leadership, he said Asean also maintained the Five-Point Consensus as the main framework for addressing the Myanmar crisis, while pushing for an extended ceasefire and engaging with all stakeholders to support peace efforts. He added that Malaysia spearheaded humanitarian missions to Myanmar following the recent earthquake, secured wider international participation in the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation (TAC), and advanced Asean's economic integration through agreements such as the upgraded Asean Trade in Goods Agreement and the Asean Digital Economy Framework. Apart from that, Mohamad said Cyprus is expected to sign the TAC during the upcoming summit, following Algeria and Uruguay's accession which brought the total signatories to 57. Mohamad also highlighted Malaysia's efforts in coordinating the establishment of an Interim Observer Team, comprising defence advisers from Asean member states, to monitor compliance with the ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia. He stressed that this role underscored Malaysia's credibility as a neutral and trusted mediator in regional conflicts.
