Anwar: No compromise on territorial rights in Malaysia-Brunei border talks

The 27th Annual Leaders’ Consultation (ALC-27) between Malaysia and Brunei addressed the long-standing border issue today. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim disclosed that approximately 50% of the border demarcation process has been completed. He emphasized that neither country would compromise on its territorial rights during the demarcation efforts.

ALC-27 provides the optimal platform to settle outstanding issues and enhance bilateral relations. Malaysia and Brunei have agreed in principle to facilitate movement between the countries, aiming to address immigration challenges caused by outdated regulations. The Malaysian delegation, including Foreign Minister Mohamad Hasan and Sarawak and Sabah Premiers, arrived at Istana Nurul Iman to attend the consultation.

The Sultan of Brunei, Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, was also present. The visit concluded with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding on disaster management cooperation, which will bolster preparedness and response capabilities for any emergencies.
