Malaysia to solidify Asean relations, collaborate with both China, US
PUCHONG: Malaysia is looking to solidify its relation among its Asean partners to pursue a synergistic collaboration with both China and the United States, said Economic Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali in view of the ongoing China – US trade war.
“Rather than taking a unilateral position on this, we look forward to a positive and constructive outcome when the world’s two largest economies return to the negotiating table in early October.
“At the same time, Malaysia must continue to strengthen its relationship with her Asean partners and pursue synergistic collaboration with both China and the US.
He also acknowledged that the ongoing trade war is detrimental to all nations, especially those with smaller economies.
Azmin also said that given the circumstances, working in a multilateral framework would be the best option to move forward for the benefit of all.
