Malaysia Committed To Strengthening Regional Cooperation Via AZEC For Stable Energy Supply -- PM Anwar

KUALA LUMPUR, April 15 (Bernama) -- Malaysia remains committed to strengthening regional cooperation through the Asia Zero Emission Community (AZEC) to ensure a stable, sufficient and resilient energy supply, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

He said recent developments in West Asia, particularly affecting the Strait of Hormuz, remind the world that a stable energy supply is critical to ensure economic resilience and safeguard the well-being of the people. 

“As an energy producer, including liquefied natural gas, Malaysia will continue to play a constructive role in supporting regional energy security, while diversifying energy sources, including renewable energy, and strengthening our energy system in line with national development priorities,” he said in a post on the ‘X’ platform today. 

Anwar participated in the AZEC Plus Online Summit on Energy Resilience at the invitation of the government of Japan.

“I thank Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi for convening this timely meeting,” he said.
