The European Muslims League (EML) expresses its deep gratitude to H.E. Anwar Ibrahim, Prime Minister of Malaysia, for the decisive role he played in the recent border crisis between Cambodia and Thailand, where tensions caused the loss of innocent lives and the displacement of thousands of civilians. Malaysia’s intervention, inspired by the principles of justice and mercy inherent in Islam, contributed to achieving a ceasefire and restoring hope for a peaceful resolution.

The Holy Qur’an reminds us: “And if they incline to peace, then incline to it [also] and rely upon Allah” (Surah 8:61). The leadership of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim fully embodies this teaching, demonstrating how faith can guide political action towards the common good and the protection of human life.

As the European Muslims League, we reaffirm that peace and the protection of the vulnerable are moral responsibilities for every Muslim. The Cambodia‑Thailand crisis reminds us of the importance of diplomacy and mercy, values that must inspire every leader and every nation.

We pray that Allah continues to guide all Muslim leaders on the path of justice and peace, and we renew our commitment to promoting initiatives that unite peoples in brotherhood and faith.
