Malaysia to keep pushing for sustainable South China Sea


KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia will continue to advocate and strengthen maritime and oceanographic research for a sustainable South China Sea as many nations sharing the sea depend on its living and non-living natural resources for food, trade, transport, tourism and security.

The Energy, Science, Technology, Environment and Climate Change Ministry’s deputy secretary-general (Science, Technology and Innova­tion) Dr Mohd Nor Azman Hassan said this in his speech at the opening of the 3rd South China Sea Conference 2019 (SCS2019) here yesterday.
