KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 2 — Nepalese Prime Minister Balendra Shah has assured Malaysia of full cooperation to determine the status of 54 citizens still missing after devastating floods and landslides in Nepal, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said today.
The update came after one of 55 Malaysians previously listed as missing was located safe and made contact with the Malaysian Embassy in Kathmandu, according to family representatives and official updates.
“I have had conversations with the prime minister. He is willing to give all the cooperation,” Anwar said to reporters this afternoon, adding that Shah agreed during a bilateral call to facilitate administrative and legal efforts to help relatives obtain closure as quickly as possible.
