"It is certain that the parties in this conflict will implement a temporary ceasefire within this two-week period, allowing time to review and refine Iran's 10-point plan alongside the US's 15-point plan. Malaysia has urged all parties to fully respect and implement the ceasefire in good faith to prevent any return to hostilities. "Malaysia expresses its appreciation to all parties involved in the diplomatic efforts and mediations that led to this agreement," the statement said.
