Tok Mat to lead M'sian delegation at OIC foreign ministers meet in Istanbul
Wisma Putra, in a statement Thursday (June 19), said that the meeting will involve the participation of foreign ministers and representatives from 57 OIC member states.
"The Foreign Minister will deliver a National Statement highlighting Malaysia's views and position on issues of common concern under the OIC, such as the situation in Palestine and their right to self-determination," said the ministry.
The National Statement will also address the rise of Islamophobia and all forms of hatred towards religion, emphasise economic cooperation, and initiatives that Malaysia has undertaken in pursuing the objectives of the OIC, it added.
With the theme of "OIC in a Transforming World", this meeting is expected to deliberate and agree on common approaches for addressing the political, socio-economic, and cultural challenges faced by the Ummah, through the adoption of the Istanbul Declaration and nearly 146 proposed resolutions, the ministry stated.
The meeting also serves as a platform to expand cooperation and solidarity among OIC Member States in promoting peace and security for the Ummah and the global community at large, particularly amid the current escalating tensions in the Middle East region, it said. - Bernama

Ceasefire in focus as Thai, Cambodian leaders gather in Putrajaya
PUTRAJAYA: Leaders from Thailand and Cambodia are expected to meet here at 3pm on Monday (July 28) for a high-level negotiation aimed at halting deadly border clashes that have erupted between the two Southeast Asian neighbours. The conflict, which flared up on July 25 near Cambodia's northern border, has already claimed more than 20 lives on the Thai side. Cambodian authorities have reported five soldiers and eight civilians killed, with thousands of residents displaced across both sides. Tensions have been brewing since a fatal skirmish on May 28 near the disputed Preah Vihear border zone, where a Cambodian soldier was reportedly shot. The 817-kilometre undemarcated stretch between the two countries has long been a flashpoint for military and diplomatic disputes. On Sunday, the Thai government confirmed its participation in the regional consultation hosted by Malaysia, expressing hope that the talks would pave the way for informed decisions and help restore calm. Thai Government spokesperson Jirayu Huangsap said the meeting would serve to consider peace proposals submitted by both sides. In an event here on Sunday (July 27), Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said that he is expected to chair the meeting, having held separate discussions with Thai and Cambodian leaders over the past week. He said global leaders, including US President Donald Trump and representatives from China, have urged both parties to seek a peaceful resolution. - Bernama
