There is nothing more worrisome to ISIS than cooperation between 'the West' and the Muslim world, for it defies the narrative of a clash of civilisations the group is trying to revive.

Europe, Latin America, and the Caribbean share a cultural heritage based on centuries of common history. And what is more, we share the same values and world view. We believe in a world order that is based on cooperation, on regionalism, on multilateralism.

The Muslim world is threatened by religious fanaticism. The Western world is threatened by secular fanaticism.

Without doubt, Malaysia is the great economic star of the Muslim world.

There is a need for the European Union to use all potential we have on defense cooperation.
