Malaysia raises concern over US-led strikes in Syria

Malaysia foreign ministry in its statement said that it believes all parties must act in a manner consistent with the United Nations Charter and international law, Bernama news agency reported.

'In this regard, Malaysia believes that no military solution can bring an end to the conflict in Syria. We urge all parties involved to find a political solution through dialogue and negotiations,' it said.

The statement added that to achieve this, all parties must restrain from actions that can escalate the conflict and worsen the suffering of the Syrian people.

'The UN Security Council member-states must rise above acrimony and rancor and instead unite to exercise their responsibility to end the bloodshed as well as to bring about peace and security to that beleaguered country,' it said.

Malaysia's Foreign Affairs Ministry's statement said that the country is ready to play its role in addressing the humanitarian crisis in Syria.

The international community as a whole must take urgent steps to address the continuing humanitarian crisis in Syria, it noted.
