: Malaysia, which is set to assume the ASEAN Chairmanship in 2025, will leverage on the multilateral platform to tackle regional issues, including territorial disputes in the South China Sea, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said today.
Meanwhile, Anwar, who is also the Finance Minister reiterated that Malaysia is steadfast in its stand of not taking sides in the rivalry between the United States and China, stressing the fact that Putrajaya will not be part of any ‘Cold War’ mindset and is fiercely neutral in this matter. “Nobody, no country should dictate and we decide what is best for Malaysia,“ he said when asked on the growing competition between the US and China.“Cumulatively, the US is still Malaysia’s biggest trading partner and investor, and they are very aggressive in promoting investment. Therefore, all the big players in the US are welcome to invest in Malaysia,” said the Prime Minister.“I don’t share this ‘China-phobia’ policy.
