Japanese ambassador to Malaysia, Hiroshi Oka said his country fully supported the initiatives to enhance physical connectivity through quality infrastructure development in Asean.“Not to forget is the maritime connectivity for the safe navigation of vessels, under the free and open Indo-Pacific region,” he said in conjunction with the 60th birthday reception of Emperor Naruhito, at the former’s official residence in Jalan Langgak Golf.
