President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdoğan stated the need to establish a new world order that takes into account the interests of the Islamic world, whose population exceeds 2 billion people. He made this statement in Malaysia’s capital, Kuala Lumpur, while speaking about the United Nations, according to the tccb.gov.tr website.

“There can be no peace, tranquility, and development on behalf of humanity in a place where there is no justice and where justice is shelved for the sake of savage interests,” Erdoğan said.

According to him, today “we need a new understanding and a new global order to solve problems in all areas from economy to diplomacy, from trade to security.”

“Building a system which embraces everyone, which is fair and sharing, which recognizes differences as richness and is based on trust is an obligation rather than an option,” the Turkish leader emphasized. "We must first and foremost believe in the possibility of building a world where peace prevails over conflict, trust over fear, peace over terror and violence, prosperity over poverty,” President Erdoğan added.

As previously reported, German law enforcement authorities stated that the terrorist attack in Munich had an “Islamist motive.”
