He said this important trilateral initiative will go a long way in fostering unity, cooperation and development across the Muslim world.

Turkish President in the joint press conference with Malaysian Prime Minister had stated that statements are easy to make. But to have an effective action is far more important. That is why I propose that at least three Muslim countries – Turkey, Malaysia and Pakistan should work together.

The Malaysian premier also seconded Erdogan’s view and urged the three Muslim countries to work together.
