00:00Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim signalled that Malaysia could play a role in ending the conflict in the Middle East,
00:06saying leaders from Gulf states have used his country as a channel to Iran's leadership.
00:12Anwar said during a joint briefing with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in Pucca Jaya
00:18that many of his colleagues in the Gulf and Arab world had sought Malaysia's views and assistance in conveying their
00:25concerns.
00:26Anwar reiterated Malaysia's commitment to freedom of navigation following the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz for nearly seven
00:34weeks,
00:35which has disrupted energy supplies and raised prices.
00:39He added his nation also wants guarantees from countries, big powers included, to end animosity, attacks and even sanctions against
00:48other countries.
00:49He said Malaysia as a neutral party has been engaging with all sides, noting its ties with Russia while maintaining
00:57the US as its biggest investor.
01:00Anwar also said Malaysia will prioritise Australia for any excess diesel once domestic demand is met,
01:07as supply constraints grip major agricultural economies in Asia.
