Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said Thursday that his government is committed to helping Thailand solve a Muslim insurgency in its far south but does not condone the use of violence to end the conflict.
Anwar spoke after meeting in Bangkok with his Thai counterpart, Prayuth Chan-ocha. It was Anwar's first visit to his country’s northern neighbor since he took office last November. He has previously met with leaders from Indonesia, Brunei and Singapore.
