PUTRAJAYA (Bernama): The Foreign Affairs Ministry (Wisma Putra) called in China’s ambassador on Monday (Oct 4) to convey Malaysia’s position and protest against the presence and activities of Chinese vessels, including a survey vessel, in Malaysia’s Exclusive Economic Zone off the coasts of Sabah and Sarawak.

In a statement issued late Monday, Wisma Putra said the presence and activities of these vessels were inconsistent with Malaysia’s Exclusive Economic Zone Act 1984, as well as the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (Unclos).
