Doha:Malaysia has proposed the creation of a cross-border digital corridor to assist in Palestine's post-conflict redevelopment, as part of efforts to enhance international cooperation in digital connectivity and the digital economy. Communications Minister Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil shared this initiative during a discussion at the Digital Majlis Founding Roundtable, held alongside the Mobile World Congress (MWC) Doha 2026.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Fahmi suggested that the initiative could offer a pathway for participating nations to support Palestine's redevelopment, including areas such as Gaza, Ramallah, and the West Bank. The idea was conceived after discussions with Palestine's Deputy Telecommunications and Digital Economy Minister Huda Al-Wahidi regarding the challenges Palestine faces in rebuilding post-conflict.

Fahmi emphasized the importance of understanding the challenges faced by individual markets, like connectivity costs and digital literacy, before identifying suitable areas for cooperation. He also proposed establishing a working secretariat within 90 days to coordinate information and data from participating countries, starting with a small-scale initiative before expanding.

Fahmi indicated that Malaysia is ready to provide expertise through the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to support the initiative. The Digital Majlis Founding Roundtable aims to facilitate opportunities for strengthening cross-border digital cooperation, involving government leaders, policymakers, and telecommunications representatives.
