Malaysia will not restrict investments from US investors, although it condems the US government's stance in recognising Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

Describing it as not the wisest move, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said Malaysia should differentiate between advantageous relations with the US and the attitude of the Trump administration.


He was commenting on the two countries’ relations following Malaysia’s tough stance on the issue during the Extraordinary Summit of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).

After the summit, OIC through the United Nations will make sure that the US is aware of the effects that Palestinians and Muslims face all over the world through their actions.

Datuk Seri Najib also said  bilateral talks with the US government must be carried out in the hope that the country will realise the importance of finding a fair and peaceful resolution.
