Malaysia: Malaysia and Singapore have welcomed the temporary ceasefire involving the United States, Iran, Israel, and Lebanon following the West Asia conflict, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. He mentioned that the understanding was reached through a phone conversation with Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong to discuss the latest developments in the conflict, which is increasingly impacting global energy and supply chains, including in this region.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Anwar stressed the urgent need for all parties to back a more comprehensive and lasting resolution. He shared this sentiment in a Facebook post. Anwar explained that, at the same time, Malaysia also emphasized the importance of maintaining the freedom and security of maritime routes in the Strait of Hormuz, in line with international law.

Malaysia supports ongoing diplomatic efforts, including Pakistan's role in paving the way for dialogue. Discussions on energy issues focused on efforts to strengthen grid system resilience and address challenges in balancing demand and supply, including accelerating the implementation of the ASEAN Power Grid as a regional strategic measure.

Anwar stated that Malaysia and ASEAN will strive to remain resilient in facing global uncertainties through close cooperation and a people-centred approach.
