KUALA LUMPUR — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim underscored Malaysia's enduring adherence to the One-China policy on Tuesday, emphasizing that the country's stance on the matter has remained steadfast across successive administrations.
Anwar stated that Malaysia's commitment to the diplomatic framework traces back to the founding principles established during Tun Abdul Razak's tenure as Prime Minister, reflecting a continuity in the nation's foreign policy approach toward China.
The Prime Minister's reaffirmation comes amid broader regional discussions on China-related matters and Malaysia's positioning within the Asia-Pacific geopolitical landscape. His comments underscored the importance of maintaining consistent diplomatic relations with Beijing while preserving Malaysia's own national interests.
The One-China policy, which recognizes the People's Republic of China as the sole legitimate government of China, has formed a cornerstone of Malaysia's foreign relations framework for decades. Anwar's latest statement signals that the government intends to maintain this established diplomatic course in its regional and international engagements.
