Saifuddin: Malaysia does not recognise unilateral sanctions, remains non-aligned to any side
PUTRAJAYA, May 8 — Malaysia does not recognise any unilateral sanctions on any country, unless the resolution for the sanctions was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly , said Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Abdullah.
The minister was commenting on the wide ranging international sanctions imposed by the West and its allies on Russia following the latter’s ongoing war with Ukraine. “We keep on encouraging both sides to end this conflict. We know that there are people who are working to get the two sides to end this conflict. We are not involved to that extend but we do engage various actors who are actively working on this,” he said.
