KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 4 (Bernama) -- Against the backdrop of escalating regional security challenges including North Korea's nuclear developments and unilateral attempts to alter the status quo in the East and South China Seas, Japan wants to further cooperate with Malaysia in maintaining and enhancing maritime connectivity and stability in the region.

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said with his country’s efforts through a Free and Open Indo-Pacific (FOIP), strengthening the order will bring about peace, stability and prosperity not only for our two countries but also for the entire international community.
