Malaysia says may send medical team to Iraq
KUALA LUMPUR, July 15 (Reuters) Muslim-majority Malaysia is considering sending a medical team to Iraq as a contribution to a multilateral force in the country, Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said today.
''That is a subject that we have to think very carefully (about),'' Abdullah told a news conference.
He said Malaysia might consider some form of participation, suggesting it might be in the form of providing medical services.
Abdullah, who is due to meet US, French and British leaders within the next week, speaks both as national leader and chairman of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC) and Non-Aligned Movement (NAM).
Asked about prospects for a peacekeeping force led by Muslim nations in Iraq, he said that was also being looked into. ''I think Muslim countries can make some contributions,'' he said.
