PUTRAJAYA (Bernama): The top priority of the Foreign Ministry now is on Covid-19 related issues as it has affected the economy and the well-being of Malaysians, particularly those remaining in countries seriously affected by the outbreak, says Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein.

The newly-minted Foreign Minister said Wisma Putra needs to look into this issue seriously as it had also affected Malaysians’ frame of mind and if it was not managed properly, there could be repercussions.
