Abstract :
For more than 40 years, there has been growing interest in the socio-political and
economic interactions between Malaysia and individual Arab Gulf States. This is most
likely because of the economic interaction between these nations and Malaysia as well as
the religious affinity between Malaysia and the Arab Gulf states. This has invariably led
to the proliferation and establishment of numerous non-state actors who are also playing
momentous roles in enhancing bilateral relationships. The aim of this paper is not only to
examine and investigate the influence and contributions of non-state actors in enhancing
Malaysia’s relationship with the Arab Gulf states but also to provide a significant attempt
to assess the role of Malaysian non-state actors in shaping future direction with the Arab
Gulf countries and the extent to which Malaysian foreign policy has intensified the role
of non-state actors.
