“Malaysia maintains that all disputes should be resolved through dialogue, diplomacy and adherence to international law in order to ensure peace, stability and security in the region,” he said in a Facebook post.
During the BRICS-related engagements, Mohamad also held bilateral talks with Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Eduardo Rodríguez Parrilla.
According to him, the discussions focused on current geopolitical and economic developments in Cuba, as well as the latest situation in West Asia, which remains a major concern for the international community.
