Foreign Minister Datuk Anifah Aman held a dialogue session with the Malaysian community at the Malaysian High Commission on Friday 31 July 2009. He briefed them on the 1Malaysia concept, Malaysia's foreign policy and the current political situation.
He also pledged to seek the best solution for more than 500 "stateless" Malaysian British Overseas Citizens (BOCs) in Britain. However, Anifah made it clear that Malaysia did not recognise dual nationality under the Federal Constitution. The minister told the Malaysian community that although many of them had lived in Britain for some time, it did not mean they were "less Malaysian or loved the country less." About 80 people attended the dialogue session.
