: ASEAN and Beijing have reached an agreement to avoid disputes in the South China Sea, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
“There is assurance from the Chinese Premier, Li Qiang, that this matter will be handled peacefully in line with the spirit of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea 1982,” he told Malaysian media on the final day of the summit, today. The territorial affiliation of several islands and reefs in the South China Sea has been the subject of disputes between China, the Philippines, and several other Asia-Pacific nations for decades.
Anwar mentioned that he had instructed Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan to coordinate the negotiations. Approximately 4,000 people have been killed, and nearly a million residents displaced since Myanmar’s civilian government was abruptly overthrown in a military coup in February 2021. Malaysia is currently hosting around 200,000 Myanmar refugees.
