PUTRAJAYA (Feb 28): Malaysia has strongly condemned the attacks against Iran and the subsequent retaliatory attacks against several countries in the region namely Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and Qatar on Feb 28.
The Foreign Ministry in a statement said the attacks violate the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as the prohibition against the use of force under the Charter of the United Nations and international law.
“Such unilateral military measures risk further destabilising an already fragile region and endangering civilian lives.
“At this critical juncture, all parties must exercise maximum restraint to prevent further escalation that could destabilise the region and carry wider global consequences,” the statement read.
Malaysia reiterated that disputes must be resolved through dialogue and diplomacy, in full respect of international law.
It called on the international community, including the United Nations, to take urgent and decisive action to de-escalate the situation, and restore peace and stability in the region. – Bernama
