THE MAKKAH DEFENCE PACT AND ITS STRATEGIC IMPLICATIONS FOR MALAYSIA IN A MULTIPOLAR WORLD

The unipolar era is decisively behind us. The historic Makkah Joint Defence Agreement, signed on 7 August 2026 by Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, and Pakistan, represents a tectonic shift in West Asian security and global geopolitics.

In this latest analysis, YB Dr Maszlee Malik, Chairman of IAIS Malaysia, explores how this pact impacts the ongoing United States and China strategic rivalry, as well as the stability of the Strait of Hormuz; a vital lifeline for global energy.

Because Malaysia’s economy relies heavily on open sea lanes and stable energy supplies, our nation cannot afford to be a passive observer.

Discover how Malaysia can leverage its diplomatic capital, champion track two diplomacy, and utilize the principles of the MADANI framework to proactively lead in this new multipolar reality.

IAIS Malaysia Standpoint No. 120

Muslim security must not be built upon Muslim confrontation.

In Standpoint No. 120, IAIS Malaysia welcomes the Makkah Joint Defence Agreement between Saudi Arabia, Türkiye and Pakistan as an important step towards greater defence cooperation and strategic autonomy among Muslim countries. The principle that an attack against one member would be regarded as an attack against all reflects a growing willingness to take greater responsibility for collective security and reduce dependence on external powers.

But such cooperation must remain defensive and must never become an alliance directed against another Muslim country, including Iran. Decades of conflict across the Muslim world have shown that regional rivalries and external intervention ultimately weaken Muslim states rather than secure them.

Standpoint No. 120 argues for Muslim strategic autonomy—not another front for conflict. The agreement should strengthen self-reliance, sovereignty and cooperation, with its success measured by its ability to prevent war rather than create new divisions.

Yesterday, IAIS Malaysia Chairman YB Dr Maszlee Malik delivered a compelling speech titled "Cyrus the Great and the Future of Human Rights in a Multipolar Civilisation."

Addressing the selective application of human rights today, Dr. Maszlee called for a shift toward true multipolarity and epistemic justice, a framework where diverse civilisational traditions participate equally in shaping global ethics.

Drawing on the legacy of Cyrus the Great, the address honored political authority grounded in moral responsibility and the protection of human dignity. Dr. Maszlee also highlighted the Qur'anic principle of li ta'arafū, urging society to embrace diversity as a divine invitation to "know one another" through reciprocal learning rather than viewing it as a point of conflict.

Furthermore, he emphasized the critical need to reclaim education's soul by moving beyond mere technical competence. By integrating knowledge, purpose, and character, educational systems can form individuals equipped with the moral agency necessary to genuinely uphold justice.

THE MANIFESTO OF CYRUS THE GREAT AND THE EVOLUTION OF MODERN HUMAN RIGHTS

The Embassy of the Republic of Tajikistan in Malaysia, in collaboration with the International Institute of Advanced Islamic Studies (IAIS) Malaysia, successfully organised the forum “The Manifesto of Cyrus the Great and the Evolution of Modern Human Rights” on 5 August 2026 at IAIS Malaysia.

The forum brought together diplomats, distinguished scholars and experts to examine the enduring legacy of Cyrus the Great and the significance of the Cyrus Cylinder in shaping contemporary discussions on human rights, governance and civilisation.

The programme featured presentations by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sharofiddin Ashurov (IIUM), Prof. Syed Farid Alatas (ASIAWE) and Asst. Prof. Dr. Nurul Ain Norman (ISTAC-IIUM), who explored Cyrus the Great’s historical contributions, the influence of the Cyrus Cylinder on modern human rights discourse, and the historical and cultural legacy of Cyrus in Central Asia from the perspective of Tajikistan.

The forum was honoured by the presence of YB Dr. Maszlee Malik, Chairman of IAIS Malaysia, H.E. Mr. Ardasher Qodiri, Ambassador of the Republic of Tajikistan to Malaysia, and H.E. Mr. Valiollah Mohammadi Nasrabadi, Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran to Malaysia, reflecting the importance of strengthening scholarly and diplomatic engagement on shared civilisational heritage.

The discussion provided a valuable platform for meaningful dialogue on the intersections between history, civilisation and the universal values of justice, governance and human dignity that continue to shape the modern world.

IAIS Malaysia extends its sincere appreciation to the Embassy of the Republic of Tajikistan in Malaysia, the speakers, distinguished guests and all participants for contributing to the success of this timely and enriching forum.

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim recently made it clear that any Israeli nationals found in Malaysia would be deported immediately. This comes after reports emerged that Israelis using second passports had entered the country to participate in activities linked to the Network School in Forest City, Johor. Malaysian authorities are now investigating whether dual citizenship was used to bypass long-standing restrictions on Israeli passport holders.
