The Malaysian government strongly condemned the bombing attacks that hit Brussels, Belgium on Tuesday.

"The government of Malaysia strongly condemns the bomb blasts in Brussels," the Foreign Ministry said in a statement, adding that no Malaysian citizens have been reported to be among the casualties so far.

"These cowardly attacks are a reminder of the need for countries to unite and counter threats posed by extremism," he said. "The thoughts and prayers of all Malaysians are with the victims and their families."
