Federal Govt's ties with Sabah, Sarawak to be further strengthened – Anwar

KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has stated that the Federal Government's connections with the governments of Sarawak and Sabah will continue to grow, founded on mutual respect and trust. The discussions took place during his visit to Brunei, where he met with Sarawak Chief Minister Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg and Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor.

These leaders were part of the Malaysian delegation attending the 27th Malaysia-Brunei Darussalam Annual Leaders Consultation (ALC-27). Anwar elaborated on the meeting's agenda, which included preparations for the upcoming Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) Implementation Action Council meeting in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. The focus was on strengthening cooperation between the Federal Government and the two states to benefit the people and ensure equitable and balanced development.

During his visit, Anwar also engaged in talks with his Bruneian counterparts, who agreed in principle to facilitate movement between the two nations and expedite relevant processes related to the discussions.
