Malaysian PM Anwar Ibrahim says his country is prepared to negotiate the South China Sea dispute with Beijing to safeguard his country's energy exploration efforts
Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, left, is shown the way by Chinese President Xi Jinping during a meeting at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on Friday.
China claims sovereignty over almost the entire South China Sea — a strategic waterway through which trillions of dollars in trade pass annually — despite an international court ruling that Beijing's assertion has no legal basis. Anwar — who was on a visit to Beijing recently — said on Monday that the "sensitive" issue was raised at a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping as Malaysia's state energy firm Petronas has its largest oil platform in the disputed area, as well as several exploration projects.
