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.
