PUTRAJAYA: Malaysia is ready to consider reopening embassies in several countries that had to be closed because of war, said foreign minister Zambry Abdul Kadir.
A team led by the ministry’s secretary-general , Amran Mohamed Zin, is conducting a survey on whether it is suitable to reopen the embassies.
“We have identified a number of countries that we are currently conducting a survey in to reopen missions or embassies that have been closed all this while as a result of a war that occurred in the country in question,” said Zambry.
Zambry said Iraq, Syria and Libya so far have invited Malaysia to reopen embassies in their countries, “(however) it is subject to the government’s decision”.
