Malaysia has urged the Myanmar government to act immediately to address the ongoing inter-communal violence in the country.
Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Anifah Aman said this in a bilateral meeting with Myanmar's Foreign Minister Wunna Maung Lwin at the 46th Asean Foreign Ministers Meeting (AMM) which began yesterday in Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei.
A statement from the Asean-Malaysia National Secretariat, Foreign Affairs Ministry, here said Anifah conveyed Malaysia's concern, saying it had also affected neighbouring countries, including Malaysia.
He urged the Myanmar government to bring the perpetrators of violence to justice in a fair and transparent manner. He also sought the agreement of the Myanmar government to allow the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Contact Group to visit Myanmar and be given the fullest cooperation to help fulfil its mandate.
Besides the 46th AMM, other events here include the Post-Ministerial Conferences (PMC), the 20th Asean Regional Forum, Asean Plus Three Foreign Ministers’ Meeting, and the 3rd East Asia Summit Foreign Ministers’ Meeting.
