RIYADH: Leaders of Asean and Gulf Cooperation Council convened for the first time at the blocs' historic summit here on Friday , with Malaysia Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim calling upon the international community to put an end to the disproportionate treatment and flagrant hypocrisy against the Palestinians.
"They must be allowed to live in peace and dignity in their own sovereign state in internationally recognised borders, based on the pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital," he said in his speech at the summit here. "We condemn Israel’s disproportionate and indiscriminate bombing in Gaza and the blocking of basic and essential needs to those in Gaza, putting the lives of many Palestinians in peril," he said.
In his opening speech at the summit, the Crown Prince also said that he was saddened by the escalating violence in Gaza, for which innocent people were paying the price. Asean-GCC relations began in 1990 and had been growing over the years as both sides realised the huge potential in expanding trade and geopolitical strategies.
