Malaysian Prime Minster Mahathir Bin Mohamad refrained from raising the Kashmir issue during a bilateral press-conference with Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, India Today has reported.
This is said to have been a result of India’s continued pressure on Malaysia over its pro-Pakistan policy on Kashmir following the abrogation of Article 370.
Since then, India has been aggressively imposing restrictions on Malaysian palm oil import.
The Indian government’s decision to curb palm oil imports had sent benchmark Malaysian palm futures to their worst weekly fall in more than 11 years in January as India has been the largest market for the Malaysian palm oil exporters for last five years.
Since then the Malaysian Prime Minister had announced that it won’t take any retaliatory action against India and its buyers began increasing sugar import from India in order to placate it.
