KUALA LUMPUR, April 15 — Malaysia is committed to strengthening regional cooperation through the Asia Zero Emission Community (AZEC) to ensure stable, sufficient, and resilient energy supply, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
He said recent developments in West Asia, particularly along the Strait of Hormuz, have reminded the world that a stable energy supply is critical to ensure economic resilience and the people’s well-being.
“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 an X post today.
He had earlier participated in the AZEC Plus Online Summit on Energy Resilience at the invitation of Japan.
“I thank (Japanese) Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi for convening this timely meeting,” Anwar said.
