KUALA LUMPUR, April 8 — Asean should remain independent and as a zone of neutrality amid the heightened US and China rivalry, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said.
Anwar noted that Asean was formed to promote peace and stability in the region, and cooperation among its member states, and these objectives should be maintained.“That position continues. We don’t want the region to be the base for military competition. That position has been quite consistent although we remain friendly to all countries,” he said in the interview.
Citing AUKUS, Anwar said Malaysia has raised concern that the trilateral security pact involving Australia, United Kingdom and United States in the Indo Pacific would further aggravate the situation in the region.
