Kuala Lumpur (IINA) – The Malaysian authorities' recent success in detaining terror suspects and Daesh supporters has received praise from Saudi envoy Fahad Abdullah Al-Rashid, who felt that in this regard Malaysia could somewhat contribute towards the Saudi-led alliance of 34 Muslim nations to combat terrorism.
The ambassador to Malaysia said that this country was an important and advanced Islamic nation, not only in terms of its military but also its intelligence unit.
"Malaysia's strength in the intelligence unit is highly welcomed in this alliance," he told BERNAMA in a recent interview.
Al-Rashid said that every member of the alliance would participate and contribute in various ways, depending on the capability and expertise of each country.
In December last year, Malaysian Armed Forces chief General Zulkifeli Mohd Zin told the media that Malaysia's participation in the alliance was limited to information sharing and not military operation.
Al-Rashid said that the Riyadh-based joint operations center will help to eliminate any obstacle that might exist among the countries, such as in terms of logistics and distance.
"According to the initial plan, every country (of the alliance) will have a representative in Riyadh for better communication," he added.
The Islamic Military Alliance, first announced by Saudi Defense Minister and Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in December last year, also includes Egypt, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Turkey.
