Transcripts
the assembly will hear an address by his
by his Excellency Ismail Sabria Coop
prime minister of Malaysia
I request protocol to escort his
Excellency
I have great pleasure in welcoming his
Excellency Ismail Sabria cook prime
minister of Malaysia prime minister of
Malaysia I invite him to address the
assembly
was
greetings to the world family
first of all I would like to
congratulate your Excellency
on your election as the president
of the 77th session of the United
Nations General Assembly
I am confident that under the leadership
of your Excellency this section this
session will be conducted with
efficiency and effectiveness
I would also like to express my
appreciation to the previous president
his Excellency Abdullah Shahid
for his excellent leadership at the 76th
session
in the face
of various constraints
and challenges
Malaysia welcomes the theme chosen for
this year's session of the UN General
Assembly
which is a watershed moment
transformative solutions to interlocking
challenges
We Believe
this theme is most apt for the situation
that we are going through together
Mr President
at the last General Assembly
we heard a high level of commitment and
pledge to work together
that has given hope to the world
numerous statements were issued
all giving hope including for me
that the spirit of a world family
will be able to put aside the
differences that exist Among Us
that commitment enables us to rise from
the pandemic
and together overcome the challenges
that we face
even so this Spirit of optimism is
fading
I'm concerned
by the challenges that remained
unaddressed
and in fact are even worsening
many challenges remain unresolved
a major lesson the covid-19 pandemic
taught us
is that
we cannot run away from every challenge
that confronts us
being selfish
and not caring about the impact on
others
will only generate mistrust
in international cooperation
in an interconnected world
the police the policies and decisions of
some countries
can affect other nations
for example
in tackling inflation that the world is
suffering from
the monetary policy
and determining of interest rates by one
country
also has an impact on other countries
this is where cooperation
and coordination among countries need to
be stepped up
so as to achieve the goal
of a more just economic well-being for
all
in an International Financial and
monetary structure
that is still dominated by a few major
Powers as well as during the world
economic recovery
domestic monetary decisions
have to be adjusted by considering the
reality
and needs of developing countries
in this connection
Malaysia urges the the UN member states
to establish an international monetary
cooperation mechanism
to build
a more effective and just system
that is able to balance the needs of
global development
Mr President
the U.N Charter in international laws
are there to promote the peaceful
settlement of disputes
between countries
the charters and laws set the limits of
a country and pursuing its own interest
based on the principle Malaysia
opposes violations
this is the truth that we should not
forget
conflicts will only result in negative
effects for the world
it is due to conflicts
that we are now facing various problems
such as lack of nutrients and food
resources
in facing this
Malaysia calls on all countries
to emphasize
the issue of food security
to guarantee sufficient food resources
for all
Mr President
the U.N Charter
and international laws are there to
promote the peaceful settlement of
disputes between countries
the chatter and the law set the limits
of a country in pursuing its own
interests
based on that principle
Malaysia opposes violations of
international laws including the
principle
of sovereignty and territorial Integrity
of Any Nation
when a conflict erupts
all parties hold the responsibility of
easing tension and giving priority to
the safety and lives of civilians
at the same time the conflicting parties
need to return to the negotiating table
to stop the conflict as soon as possible
Malaysia does not agree with the
isolation of a country
from International organizations
such a measure
is against the principle
of multilateralism
and hinders dialogue
the price to be paid for a war is high
this is proven
by the situation
experienced by Ukraine
the effects are felt not only by the
people in the country
but also by the world
this conflict has threats and peace
Global Security
and the economy
and undermined food security
Malaysia welcomes the creation
of the sea route of corridor that allows
for the shipment of Green from Ukraine
this is a positive step
in addressing the food security problem
in this regard
Malaysia
would like to reiterate its insistence
that all countries especially the major
powers
refrain from creating isolation blocks
that will only push the world towards
a cold war
the world needs to realize that peace
can only be achieved through dialogue
and negotiation
as for the occupied Palestinian
territories
as for the occupied Palestinian
territories
Malaysia is disappointed
with the brutal occupation by Israel
that has been going on for a long time
the Palestinian people continue to live
under the shackles
of Israel's discriminatory policies
illegal settlements are becoming more
widespread
this is against international law
including security Council resolution
2334
the most basic rights of the Palestinian
people
continue to be denied
therefore
Malaysia is of The View
that the major Powers need to be honest
in resolving the issue of Cruelty faced
by the Palestinian people
that film stand should be taken by the
U.N
to ensure that the crisis
that has been going on in Palestine for
a long time
can be resolved quickly
what is happening today is that most
countries are so quick to act in the
case of Ukraine
Malaysia wants the same action to be
taken
to resolve the issue of Palestine
Israel needs to stop pingena apartheid
entity
although we are still threatened by
conflicts between countries
we cannot ignore the other the other
crisis in the world
the Pillar of Strength
for a conflict-free world
is living together
in a culture of peace and Malaysia as a
multicultural multi-racial Multicultural
and multi-religious Country always
supports and strives for the concept of
peaceful coexistence between various
races beliefs and cultures
Mr President
in the Southeast Asian region Malaysia
has played an important role in conflict
resolution
for example
Malaysia has been involved in the peace
process between the Philippine
government
and the moral Islamic Liberation Front
MILF
since 2001. in addition Malaysia has
always been proactive in helping to
resolve various Regional Crisis and
conflicts
however
Malaysia is disappointed with the
situation in Myanmar
since the coup in February
2021
it is very saddening
when the security Council
does not take any serious action in
dealing with the situation
some even see the security Council as
having washed its hands off and handing
the matter over to asean
Malaysia is disappointed
that there is no meaningful progress in
the implementation of the asean
five-point consensus especially by the
Myanmar junta
in its current form
the asean Five Point consensus cannot
continue any longer
therefore
this consensus needs to be given a new
lease of life and refined based on a
clearer framework time frame and end
goal
indeed what is more important
is that the aspirations of the people
of Myanmar must be fulfilled
the political crisis in Myanmar has also
worsened the situation of millions of
Myanmar refugees including the rohingya
refugees
although Malaysia is not a signatory of
the 1951 Convention of the status of
refugees and the 1967 protocol
Malaysia on humanitarian grounds
accepted nearly 200 000 rohingya
refugees
therefore
it is the responsibility of all
countries including the countries
participating in the convention to take
in more refugees to be resettled in
their respective countries
at the same time
Malaysia strongly emphasizes the
importance of the world addressing the
root cause of the rohingya crisis I
believe that this issue will not be
resolved as long as the crisis in the
country continues
Mr President
the conflicts and crisis that occur in
the world including in Ukraine Palestine
and Myanmar
cannot be resolved due to the debility
of the global governance system and the
U.N
the biggest problem
in the U.N is the security Council
the power of veto is most often misused
to favor the world powers that have it
it is not democratic
and violence
the principles of democracy
this makes it impossible for conflicts
to be resolved by any of the permanent
members of the council
in line with the principle of one
country one vote now is the time to
abolish The veto power
as an organization that brings the
spirit and symbol of democracy to the
world
the U.N needs to return to its
it to its foundation
Mr President
climate change is a universal problem
that affects us all
last year alone Malaysia was struck by
the most serious floods in its history
resulting in losses estimated at
1.4
billion US dollars or 6.1 billion
ringgit
many lives were lost and almost 100
000 people had to be moved to Temporary
evacuation centers
the situation happens not only in
Malaysia but in several other countries
as well
clearly the mitigation and adaptation
measures need to continue
the fact remains that developed
countries must bear the responsibility
of increasing aid for developing
countries
by fulfilling their commitment
to providing a yearly allocation of a
hundred billion dollars unconditionally
this will help realize actions taken
against climate change that should have
been implemented since 2020
. covid-19 has slowed us slowed our
efforts in achieving the sustainable
development goals sdgs
I stand here as a developing country in
asserting that the implementation and
success of a Greener and more
sustainable socio-economic development
will be achieved with fair and inclusive
response to that pledge
the fact is that new technology is an
incentive for Nations to switch to
renewable energy
however this new technology must first
be affordable for developing countries
in this regard
Malaysia is committed to carrying out
its responsibilities and roles to ensure
Environmental Conservation and
sustainability
in this context various measures
have been implemented by Malaysia
for example
in the oil palm industry
Malaysia has introduced the Malaysian
sustainable palm oil
mspo standard to meet the requirements
for the purpose of sustainable
development
Malaysia is committed to reducing
greenhouse gas emissions
by 45 percent based on the gross
domestic product
by 2030.
in this regard Malaysia has set a target
of achieving 31 percent renewable energy
used by 2025.
Malaysia is also committed to achieving
its goal of Net Zero greenhouse gas
emissions
by 2050.
the national energy policy
2022-2040 was implemented in Malaysia on
September 19
2022 to build a macro economic
resilience
and energy Supply security
next Malaysia has agreed to establish a
national sdg Center to intensify sdg
programs and monitor their progress
as one of only 17 biodiverse countries
in the world
Malaysia is aware
of its responsibility to maintain and
preserve its natural resources for
future Generations
during the Earth Summit in 1992
Malaysia pledged to maintain at least
50 percent of its land mass under forest
and tree cover
three decades on Malaysia Today still
has 54 on of forested areas in the
entire country this percentage will
increase following ongoing aggressive
reforestation measures
not only Malaysia
but the world also needs to be more
sensitive
to effort in efforts to achieve the
sustainable development goals 2030. in
this regard Malaysia welcomes the
high-level political forum hlpf
on sustainable development next year
this effort
is timely because it gives us the
opportunity to look back at what has
been achieved
and what can be improved for the benefit
of the world family
Mr President
we all share the same concerns on all
the issues
that I have raised
Malaysia remains optimistic
I call on member states to play their
respective roles in overcoming the
challenges we face
however
we have to do it together
as one big family
the wool family
united we stand divided we fall and as
long as we are united
and strong together in shouldering this
burden I am sure we will succeed
today I invite the International
Community to work together
by practicing the spirit of the world
family in facing Global challenges
with Bismillah IL Rahman Ibrahim
Mr President
Malaysia will continue to give its full
commitment
thank you
peace be upon you
on behalf of the assembly I wish to
thank the prime minister of Malaysia for
the statement just made and I I request
protocol to escort his Excellency
the assembly
