The prime minister posted on his official Facebook account today, stating that these matters were among the topics he discussed with UAE president Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan via a telephone conversation yesterday.

“I also took the opportunity to thank Sheikh Mohamed for UAE’s assistance in helping Malaysia to send humanitarian aid to earthquake victims in Syria recently,” he posted.
