PETALING JAYA: Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s approach of “quiescent diplomacy” in navigating the conflict between Iran and the US and Israel reflects mature statecraft that serves both peace and Malaysian interests, says PKR’s international affairs bureau.
Its chairman, Maszlee Malik said that while the bureau understands there are calls for a louder stance against the conflict, Anwar’s strategy of quiet engagement has proven effective in encouraging de-escalation.
“This approach preserves Malaysia’s credibility as a dialogue-focused nation, protects our strategic neutrality with all major powers, and safeguards vital relationships with Gulf Cooperation Council states. It also respects Asean’s consensus-based processes and the delicate balancing efforts of regional players. True influence is not measured by volume but by results,” he said in a statement today.
