00:00We have problems, as most countries have problems, with all our neighbours.

00:04We have with Thailand, we have with Singapore, we have with Brunei, with Indonesia.

00:08But these problems does not in any way affect our strong bond of friendship and cooperation.

00:18In an exclusive interview with FMT, Prime Minister Ono Ibrahim said that

00:23the two ASEAN countries need to work together to defend themselves from China's demands

00:27on sovereignty in the South China Sea.

00:30Prime Minister, you mentioned the South China Sea, obviously that's a very contentious issue right now.

00:35On one hand, Malaysia has recently joined BRICS as a partner nation,

00:40indicating a close alignment with China.

00:43But on the other hand, we know that China is increasingly expansionist in the South China Sea

00:49and being a little bit aggressive in terms of what Malaysia says is the EEZ.

00:55How do you intend to balance these competing interests,

00:58especially as China is one of our main trading partners?

01:01We try and work to resolve this through bilateral mechanisms,

01:08through multilateral and ASEAN mechanisms.

01:10We do discuss, we do express our concern,

01:15we do encourage our colleagues within ASEAN to also do likewise.

01:20No matter what, the Prime Minister insisted on trying to portray China as aggressive,

01:26by saying that such narratives often come from Western capitalists.

01:31He is confident that all disputes can be resolved in a good way,

01:35as is done in ASEAN countries.

01:38They have made claims, we have made claims ourselves, what is considered to be ours.

01:44And we have problems, as most countries have problems with all our neighbours.

01:48We have with Thailand, we have with Singapore, we have with Brunei, with Indonesia.

01:52But these problems does not in any way affect our strong bond of friendship and cooperation.

02:00Anwar also assured that Malaysia's inclusion as a partner country in BRICS,

02:05where China plays an important role,

02:07will not weaken the country's efforts to meet the demands of the Malaysian waters from China.

02:15As soon as Malaysia is ready to become the ASEAN leader next year,

02:19Anwar emphasized that he is focused on strengthening trade and economic cooperation between member countries.

02:26We have agreed, for example, having the ASEAN grid,

02:28because energy is the critical issue now.

02:31We have agreed about the issue of digitalization among the ASEAN countries.

02:36And then, of course, intra-ASEAN trade should be given a priority.

02:41So my challenge and my colleagues is, of course,

02:44to how to effectively execute these policies into action in this one year.
