TOKYO: Asean and Japan can collectively play a significant role within the global community towards achieving a peaceful and durable solution to the Palestine-Israel conflict, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

The Prime Minister pointed out that all Asean member states and Japan had voted in favour of the United Nations General Assembly resolution on Dec 12, which demanded a ceasefire as well as ensuring humanitarian access and the release of hostages.
