Saifuddin Abdullah points to risk of regional arms race but pledges increased trade and cooperation on cybersecurity with Australia

to Malaysia, Vietnam and Indonesia in an effort to smooth over tensions.

“We want to maintain the South China Sea in particular and the region as a whole as a region of peace, of commerce, of prosperity. “It is important that we listen to concerns, we respond to them respectfully,” Wong said in Kuala Lumpur. “What we are doing is replacing an existing capability with a new capability, and that is nuclear-propelled submarines. We remain very clear that we do not seek and nor would we ever seek to have any nuclear capability on our submarines.”

“Australia will always operate on the basis that we have this objective: a region that is peaceful, a region that is stable, a region that is prosperous, a region in which sovereignty is respected, and importantly, a region where rules enable some predictability to state behaviour and the way in which disputes are dealt with,” Wong said.
