MALAYSIA WELCOMES THE TWO-WEEK CEASEFIRE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN

Malaysia welcomes the ceasefire agreement reached between the United States of America (US) and the Islamic Republic of Iran. This significant development serves as a crucial step towards de-escalating tensions and restoring much-needed peace and stability to the West Asia region.

Malaysia urges all parties to fully respect and implement all terms of the ceasefire in good faith to prevent any return to hostilities. All parties should avoid any provocative actions or unilateral measures that could negatively impact the fragile stability of the region or jeopardise global economic and energy security.

Malaysia expresses its appreciation to all parties involved in the diplomatic efforts and mediations that led to this agreement. This breakthrough demonstrates that diplomacy remains the only viable path to resolving long-standing conflicts and ensuring long-term regional security.

All the respective parties should use this window of opportunity to continue their dialogue toward a durable, comprehensive, and peaceful settlement to their differences. Malaysia calls upon the international community to support these peace efforts and contribute toward a just and lasting resolution that ensures the safety and well-being of all peoples in the region.
