The phone conversation between Anwar and Prabowo covered a range of global issues, including the conflict between the United States-Israel and Iran.
Both leaders exchanged views on the Israel-Iran conflict and the importance of sustainable diplomatic approaches.
“We both called for peace, and I informed President Prabowo that Malaysia will continue to support and strengthen diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the Iran-Israel conflict, so that tensions can be eased, civilian lives can be protected, and meaningful negotiations can be opened towards a peaceful and lasting resolution,” Anwar stated.
