Petronas will continue with its exploration project in the South China Sea even though there are overlapping claims for the area with China, said Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.
He said this was because Malaysia considered the area, where the exploration project was being carried out, as the country’s territorial waters.
Anwar said Malaysia’s stance on the exploration by Petronas had been conveyed to Chinese President Xi Jinping and his counterpart Li Qiang during his official visit to the republic recently.
He was responding to a question from Takiyuddin Hassan (PN-Kota Bharu) who wanted to know whether the Prime Minister discussed regional security issues during his recent official visit to China, especially with the presence of the Chinese navy in the South China Sea.
