Wisma Putra has summoned the Myanmar ambassador to Malaysia over the escalation of violence in Myanmar’s Rakhine state resulting in the loss of innocent lives and displacement of thousands of people.
The Cabinet which met yesterday discussed the situation in Rakhine and directed Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Anifah Aman to meet Myanmar State Counsellor and Foreign Minister Aung San Suu Kyi as soon as possible.
In a statement issued by Wisma Putra yesterday, Malaysia condemned the escalation of violence and called on all parties involved to refrain from taking any action that would aggravate the situation.
