ISTANBUL: Malaysia is not ruling out the possibility of working with Palestine to restore the telecommunications sector in Gaza, says communications minister Fahmi Fadzil.
Fahmi, who is on a three-day working visit to Turkey, had a bilateral meeting with Palestinian economy minister Mohammad al-Amour today to discuss possible cooperation between Malaysia and Palestine in various areas.
He said there are many opportunities for Malaysia to work with Palestine, including on digital transformation, online payments, digital banks and e-wallets.
“I think these would help very much in getting the economy (of Palestine) back on track,” he told Mohammad after attending the closing ceremony of the 40th session of the standing committee for economic and commercial cooperation (Comcec) of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation today.
Meanwhile, Mohammad, representing the Palestinian government, expressed special appreciation to the people of Malaysia who have never given up offering support and solidarity to the Palestinian people.
Fahmi also had a bilateral meeting with Statistical, Economic, and Social Research and Training Centre for Islamic Countries (Sesric) director-general Zehra Zumrut Selcuk.
He said several collaboration opportunities could be explored, especially involving global training between Sesric and the Tun Abdul Razak Broadcasting and Information Institute, as well as the MCMC Academy.
Yesterday, the minister gave a statement on behalf of the Asian Group of OIC member states at Comcec.
This is the first time in 40 years that a Malaysian minister has attended Comcec, the last being Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah in 1984.
