Anwar vows stronger federal–Sabah–Sarawak cooperation ahead of MA63 meeting

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has pledged to bolster cooperation between the federal government and the states of Sarawak and Sabah in the lead-up to the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) Implementation Action Council meeting. The assurance came during a meeting with Sarawak Premier Abang Johari and Sabah Chief Minister Hajiji Noor in Brunei's capital, Bandar Seri Begawan.

The trio discussed mutual respect and trust as the foundation for strengthening ties. The meeting also addressed preparations for the upcoming MA63 Implementation Action Council meeting in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. Anwar highlighted the importance of focusing on equitable and balanced development for the people's well-being. During the ALC-27, Malaysia and Brunei agreed to facilitate movement between the two countries, with the technical committee at the Federal level, along with Sarawak and Sabah, tasked to speed up relevant processes. Anwar was in Bandar Seri Begawan for a two-day working visit tied to the ALC-27.
