KUALA LUMPUR, April 8 — Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today denied claims by the Opposition that the government had been negotiating with China over the ongoing issue involving Petronas’ exploration activity in the South China Sea during his official visit to the country recently.
“It just so happens that China is claiming that area of the sea. I replied to the Chinese leadership, I said we have to continue the project because it is in our area,” he said in his speech at the Federal Territories Nur Ramadan programme at the Ar-Rahah Mosque here today.“They said they are also claiming the same. That’s alright but we will carry on. They however have twisted the matter by saying that I was negotiating because the project was not happening,” he said.
