Important exchange of views between the President of the EU Council and the Prime Minister of Malaysia, not least on ASEAN-EU strategic cooperation and the EU-Malaysia Free Trade Agreement
Saya turut berkesempatan mengetuai delegasi Malaysia untuk mengadakan pertemuan dengan Presiden Majlis Eropah, Charles Michel dan delegasinya.
Pertemuan ini saya gunakan untuk memperkukuhkan hubungan dua hala antara Malaysia dan Kesatuan Eropah (EU), selain kami turut bertukar pandangan terkait perkembangan geopolitik serantau dan antarabangsa.
Kami antara lain sepakat untuk berusaha mempertingkatkan kerjasama strategik ASEAN-EU, khususnya sewaktu Malaysia mempengerusikan ASEAN tahun depan.
Saya juga menyatakan hasrat Malaysia untuk meneruskan perbincangan terkait perjanjian perdagangan bebas (FTA) Malaysia-EU, selain menyatakan beberapa pandangan berhubung Peraturan Bebas Penebangan Hutan EU (EUDR) yang memberi kesan langsung kepada industri sawit negara.
===================
I led the Malaysian delegation in a meeting with the President of the European Council, Charles Michel, where we focused on strengthening Malaysia-EU bilateral relations and exchanged views on regional and international geopolitical developments.
We agreed on the need to enhance ASEAN-EU strategic cooperation, particularly as Malaysia assumes the ASEAN Chairmanship next year.
I also conveyed Malaysia’s intention to continue discussions on the Malaysia-EU Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and shared our perspectives on the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), which directly impacts our palm oil industry.

Common statement from all EU member states:
”The EU condemns in the strongest terms Iran’s attack against Israel which constitutes a serious threat to regional security. The EU reiterates its commitment to the security of Israel.
Once again, a dangerous cycle of attacks and retaliations risks fuelling an uncontrollable regional escalation which is in no one’s interest. The EU remains fully committed to lower the tensions and contribute to de-escalation to avoid a dangerous regional conflict.
The EU is and will continue to be in close contact with all actors to this end. We call on all parties to exercise utmost restraint.”

This week, I co-hosted a ministerial meeting on @UNRWA with @AymanHsafadi 🇸🇪🇯🇴🇺🇳
Without UNRWA’s efforts, the needs in Gaza would be unimaginable. The international community must now step-up efforts to support humanitarians and to ensure that aid reaches those in need.
