KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 26 (Bernama) -- Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir
Mohamad has stressed that conflict between countries should be resolved
through negotiation, arbitration or legal process, rather than through
war.
As each country has conflicts with other countries, he said war was not a solution for it would not bring any benefits, including economic growth.
He said civilised people should not use war or killing to get things done.
"On the contrary, civilised people should exercise patience and use peaceful means, namely through negotiation or by considering the views of a third party as a facilitator or refer any dispute to the international court," he said.
Dr Mahathir was speaking at a luncheon hosted by him for the participants of the International Forum on 'Conflict and Conciliation in People's Politics - Looking Back or Looking Forward' in conjunction with the Umno General Assembly 2012 here Monday.
