NEW YORK February 11, 2026 — Malaysia has expressed strong support for the UNICEF Country Programme Document (CPD) for the period 2026–2030, underscoring its ongoing dedication to protecting and promoting the rights and well-being of children nationwide.
In a statement delivered on 11 February 2026 during the relevant UN session, Permanent Representative of Malaysia to the United Nations, Ambassador Dato’ Faisal Mahmud (@DDFaisalM), highlighted the country’s firm commitment to advancing child rights. He emphasized Malaysia’s anticipation for the successful rollout and implementation of the new programme framework.
The statement was shared officially by the Permanent Mission of Malaysia to the United Nations in New York (@MYNewYorkUN1). Accompanying the post was a photograph presumed to show the ambassador delivering the intervention or a related scene from the meeting.
Malaysia’s endorsement aligns with its long-standing cooperation with UNICEF and its obligations under the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which the country ratified in 1995. The 2026–2030 CPD is expected to guide UNICEF’s strategic priorities and partnerships in Malaysia over the next five years, focusing on areas such as child protection, education, health, nutrition, and equity for vulnerable groups.
This development reflects Malaysia’s continued engagement in multilateral forums to support global child welfare initiatives while addressing domestic priorities for young people.
