Reorganising foreign policy work


ON June 25-26, I represented the Prime Minister and led the Malaysian delegation to the 26th Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Kigali, Rwanda. Of the 54 member states, half did not send their heads of government to the meeting.

It is principled, based on international law, independent, neutral and friendly with all countries and parties, except those that are contrary to our aspirations – Israel for example.
