Qatar is among the latest Islamic countries to come forward to support Malaysia in its humanitarian project to help the Rohingya community that had sought refuge in the country.
Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the Qatar government had agreed to provide special funds for Malaysia to aid the refugees in three areas, primary school education, skill training, and medical and health care.
"The agreement to channel funds is a positive response by Qatar to Malaysia's ongoing efforts in resolving issues regarding the Rohingya.
"The Qatar government is very appreciative of the Prime Minister (Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak)'s role in assisting the Rohingya community," he told Malaysian journalists here.
