Malaysia Calls On Myanmar Government To Address Violence In Rakhine

PUTRAJAYA, Nov 25 (Bernama) -- Malaysia has called on the Myanmar Government to take necessary action to address alleged ethnic cleansing in the northern Rakhine State. Malaysia's Foreign Ministry said it would summon the Myanmar Ambassador to Malaysia to convey the Malaysian Government's concern over the issue. It said Foreign Minister Anifah Aman would also meet the State Counsellor and Myanmar Foreign Minister Daw Aung San Suu Kyi at the earliest possible date. "Malaysia calls on all parties involved in the recent violence to refrain from taking any action which would aggravate the situation," the ministry said in a statement here Friday. The statement said Malaysia condemned the escalation of violence in the northern Rakhine State over the past months, resulting in the loss of innocent lives and displacement of people. -- BERNAMA
